Devoted to the art of moving butts, our latest cover stars are the fabulous Tom Tom Club, the band that started out as a Talking Heads offshoot but rapidly turned Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz into global heavyweights in their own right. As well as a lengthy interview with Tina and Chris, this month's Electronic Sound also includes Saint Etienne, Public Service Broadcasting, Matt Berry, Ultrasound, Jonny Trunk and GLOK, plus a tribute to Cabaret Voltaire legend Richard H Kirk, who sadly died last month.

To accompany the magazine, we have a blue vinyl seven-inch featuring two truly stunning remixes of Tom Tom Club's classic 'Genius Of Love'. The A-side is a robo-funk monster buzzed with synthetic vocoder effects courtesy of Señor Coconut, aka German electronic producer Uwe Schmidt, who is feted for his tropical cover versions of Kraftwerk. Flip the disc over for something at the other end of the spectrum, as keyboard king and long-time Beastie Boys collaborator Money Mark deconstructs ‘Genius Of Love’ into a propulsive analogue collage of found sounds, elastic grooves and kinetic junk-shop clatter.

As with all our seven-inch releases, this record is strictly limited and available exclusively to readers of Electronic Sound, so make sure you grab your copy while you can.
