Chicks on Speed - Art Rules

Chicks on Speed dryly dissect the evils of the art industry throughout this trashy dance anthem, ingeniously giving them license to pack it full of every cheap synthesized thrill in the book. A six minute barrage of so many hand claps, bass thumps, euphoric ascensions and background explosions should sound like the millennium bug hitting the amusements, but the all girl outfit have made some damn fine ear candy even without taking the sarcastically self-distancing lyrics into account. "Brush it up, rip it down, expensive glorified wallpaper," they criticise: inexplicably demonstrating how enjoyable such uninspired disposable spectacles can be. [Shaun Love]
