MELLENY MELODY + THE POP MACHINE-SUPER HAPPY DARKNESS

GAY RECORDS/FUSION III

And if you think the cover looks wacked, you don¹t know what you¹re in for cousin, behind the kitchy coloured animation a la Prozzak, is a hidden lunacy you couldn¹t possible be prepared for. Try to imagine this: Miss Lady Kier and her Deeelite Posee drinking for 20 Rev while partying with Fantastic Plastic Machine, Stereolab, Dimitri From Paris and occasionally getting in on with Aqua and Aphex Twin in the land of Oz. To sum it up: you re almost there in figuring out the sound of Super Happy Darkness, an almost brilliant paradox. Bubble-gum-pop ­ dance music on mushrooms? Am I utterly annoyed or oddly I intrigues? You can see for yourself at www.gayrecords.com or www.mellenymelody.com and have a listen while you undress and dress up Melleny. Mental note: do no file under chill out. Rusty
