Just thought you might like to know that the Flexitones is now available from the Twisted Records website.

you can get it from here www.twisted.co.uk

go to the 'online ordering' tab on the left and then at the top of the new page there is a tab saying 'MP3 store' where they have released it ahead of time.

enjoy. Its really good!

it took a little longer than expected to find this, but it makes sense since it's the drummer from the propellerheads and not the band proper:

"The Flexitones album Joyrider is the latest offering from Twisted Records’ sub-label; backroom beats. The much anticipated collaboration between Eatstatic’s Merv Peppler and Will White of the Propellerheads couldn’t have come at a better time as both the artists have been gagging for the opportunity to produce music other than that with a banging 4/4 beat. This is certainly an album of difference, merging the Propellerheads seductive trip-hop grooves, and the countless influences both Will and Merv have had. The album is of epic lounge proportions covering laidback beats, modern dubs, and chilled funky grooves....."

should check it out when i get home...

wait, so the flexitones aren't in 4/4? are they all waltzes? marches? shuffle-time tracks?

The "genre" says "lounge," and there are some chilled tracks, but a good bit of it is breakbeat in the Will White Style, seems like. There are samples if you can put up with the Flash.

Well, i'm glad Will White is back at it. He's an amazing drummer, imo... but what about Alex Gifford? Flexitones sounds interesting, but they're not the Props...The second Propellerheads LP is needed!

holden

Flexitone?

but it's plural.

anyway this record, from the album samples, sounds dead dull.
