This is the darker side of Silicone Soul, the closing track from the Staring Into Space album. Now as then, there's more than a touch of Karl Hyde about Stuart Gray's vocal, although this is sung rather than spoken.

The tougher, acidic nature of the music is reflected in the choice of remixers. Slam tweak the beats up a notch and give a tech house reworking that will doubtless find its way into one or two of their Glasgow sets. Ewan Pearson goes one better, adorning his mix with 80s handclaps and synthesizers, its loping bass complementing the vocal perfectly. Next up are Viva Stereo, starting off as a Scissor Sisters imitation before heading once again to the early 1980s, all clattering drums and distorted guitars.

With nine vocal and instrumental versions available, this release harks back to a decade ago, when CD singles represented far better value for money, and it does a good job of promoting the group's upcoming spot in T In The Park's Slam Tent this July.
