Coldcut - More Beats and Pieces

Ninja Tune ZENcd 558. 1997


Annoying.

There was a Coldcut installation at some music-related exhibition at the Pompidou Centre in Paris a few years ago. There were loads of screens on the wall, and loads of pressure pads on the floor. Jumping on a pad triggered a video on one of the screens with accompanying sound. I'm sure there was probably something a bit more complicated than that, and all kinds of clever algorythms determining what appeared in what order depending on how many pads were being activated at any given time. Regardless, it was tits. And I mean bad, not the South Park reversal of the term.
