| Description: | There is a severe psychological problem dogging the world's music-makers. It's called turophobia - the fear of cheese. In DJ booths, bars, and recording studios far and wide you can see the quaking, irrational panic of the lactose intolerant. And from turophobia flows a host of further neurotic disorders. Fear of being different, of experimenting, of smiling, of anything other than living the correctly dressed life of the professional screw-faced misery. Fear not- help is at hand.
Luke Vibert has recorded under many aliases including Wagon Christ and Plug. He's also remixed the likes of Howie B, Meat Beat Manifesto, David Sylvian, and Nine Inch Nails. Whatever he does, he always sounds like himself-swinging, musical and often funny. Much like his contemporaries Aphex Twin and u-Ziq, he takes a cavalier approach to what is and isn't done in contemporary dance music. So he was unfazed when the steel guitarist came up to him at a club and said he wanted to work with him. When he came up again a few months later, he knew it was serious. |
