Harking from what is now officially one of the nicest
cities to live on Earth (no not Hull, Montreal), I-Speed
Bike is the solo project from God Speed You Black EmperorÆs
Aidan Girt.
Whilst being the bloke at the back of the stage battering
the skins certainly has its advantages, a big draw back
tends to be the disdain any kind of solo work inevitably
garners (don't think we didn't hear you muttering Phil
Collins!). Yet rather than a soft-soap of MOR ballads,
'Someone Told Me Life Gets Easier in Your 50's' is a crazy
leg beat buffet, with Girt's live drumming sliced and diced
in a sampler then sprayed over acutely rendered ska, dub,
raga, jungle, breakcore, hip-hop and what sounds hauntingly
like the Minder theme-tune (the charmingly titled 'If You
Were A McDonalds Your Lips Would Be An Orange Soda, But
Your Dick Would Be A Shrivelled-Up Fry').
Originally conceived as a sound-system project, Girt uses
beats from his day job to underpin the oft political
manifesto he rallies throughout (to summarise; f*ck Bush),
whilst the liner notes contain an oddly touching
description of being a teenager during the Reagan years and
dropping acid with WW2 veterans. Honestly.
A bit like a one-man band being chased by lions, if you
like Kid606 and his Duran Duran Duran homies, then 1-Speed
Bike will be right up your 1-Way street.
