Cajuan - Raven

Nu-rave? A hideous idea. Guitar-toting twerps who think they're Jarvis Cocker circa Different Class. Cajuan's latest 12", Raven, from the German verb 'to rave', pleasantly bucks this trend though, with the Moog Rave Mix drawing fuzzed-up snare drums and a sleazy, distorted synth-line from Acid House's glory days, leaving you gurning like a total dick. The Metro Rave Mix is even more pornographic, pouring on the distortion and building to a climax that demands the sight of a thousand face-chewing German porn stars dancing in a field. [Liam Arnold]
