Top Ten
Have you heard the new Bloc Party tune?
Oct 05 2007Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Bloc Party’s attempt at number one / dancefloor success? The synthetic vocodered vocals suggest so, as any song with that effect automatically goes to Top Ten and annoys the shit out of every sane person on the planet. Like this one for example. 15 million Youtube users agree. OK OK. Youtube comments are not exactly the most profound, typically like this one for example - “i like this song…Beautiful girls…and you know i like the voice of the singer he sings very nice…… i really enjoy watching and listening this song… ang saya nito promiz…and guess what…! this is my ringtone in my cellphone
“). Ahem, yes. Thanks for that.
Back to the tune. It’s called “Flux” and has got a thumping house beat with an arpeeggiated Korg synth. It’s bizarre and it’s the new single out on November 12th.
Listen to it here (@ Good Weather for Airstrikes) then report back with here what you think!

Hmmmm….. nay! Though give it time and we might hear some remix goodness!
1hmm, normally that set of attributes would be right up my street, but this just sounds like Sash! not really working for me…
2I’m not a fan of BP at all, but Jesus, this is like bad euro dance. Or, as a DJ friend of mine would say, “gay house”.
3maybe it’s the Tiesto remix
4I thought all house is gay house!
btw no dissing Sean Kingston. He managed to achieve that success having been banned by the moral majority. Rock and roll.
5jaysus,
6thats some piece of horse shite, catatonic
its a terrible attempt at terrible dance music
Super Fuzzy Bloc Party!
7Mental!
So bad it’s good. I would totally dance to that in da club. Cheesetastic.
8sounds like the bravery being raped by scooter
9No way that’s serious…
10I hate how cheesy the vocal manipulations sound on the track. Buuuttttt, I’m thinking it translates live. So check out some live footage of BP performing “Flux” here:
