Wu Ming 5, The Indian Takes a Walk About LondonA rhapsody in two movements inspired by chapters 11 and 21, Part 2 of Manituana (Mohock Club)document available in:English Español Italiano 
|
Many years after his punk-rock days, Wu Ming 5 is back to writing music. In one of his previous lives he was a bass and guitar player, treading the dirty boards of community centers and rundown clubs. In his next incarnation, he was a versatile DJ and radio host spinning soul, hip hop, reggae, freakbeat, boogaloo, and jazz. Nowadays he uses a computer. Streets of Westminster marks the entrance of the London Mohocks, as though they were accompanied by a nastified Henry Mancini. Slightly faulty-timed string bursts express the Londoners' perceptive shock at the appearance of such urban aliens. Boardwalk Talk is about Philip Lacroix, aka Le Grand Diable, walking the streets, open to anything that might happen, a real promenade du schizo straight out of The Anti-Oedipus.
