Weekly mp3 #98: Lindstrøm & Christabelle - Baby Can't Stop (Aeroplane Vocal Remix)

Available all over the shop, try Better Propaganda I s'pose.

80s vocal disco vibes - dirty punky disco rhythm section + Christabelle's vox sound a lot like ESG, but there are lots of blippy synths and distant lines that could be a soaring electric guitar. Sometimes there's slap bass and loud, stabbing organ and other times it's all spaced-out, echoing Jean-Michel Jarre synths. There's acoustic guitar being punchy rather than being soft-cock.

France's Aeroplane made this track a lot more "space disco" than the original, which is weird given production by Lindstrøm whose 'I Feel Space' totally brought back that sound a few years ago. The Norwegian duo of Lindstrøm & Christabelle have an album, which could be a promising thing, although I confess to liking this remix much more than either of their original tracks I've heard.
