Mekon - Boy Bitten/Blood On The Moon

This one worms its way into your brain, a dirty, gritty piece of electronica with a great hook. Disinterested female vocals and quite a lot of sexy breathing are delivered by Rita Brown with a chilling aloofness that allows Mekon (better known to some oldsters as former Psychic TV member John Gosling) to get away with rhyming 'lizard' with 'wizard'... just.

The release of Boy Bitten is probably the first and last time clubbers are likely be jumping to a tune inspired by a Caravaggio painting (admittedly of a scantily-clad youth in a moment of surprise) from the end of the 16th century - a little classier that I'm Horny, Horny Horny, Horny you must admit.

The B-side is altogether darker, featuring Suicide's Alan Vega and Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie, and with an extra remix of both tracks thrown in the four tracks together form a tight little package.
