MENTAL OVERDRIVE - You Are Being Manipulated, Smalltown Supersound

Nordic dance legend Per Martinsen returns for another album of acidic disco sounds, with singles including 'The Rage', 'Spooks' and the now infamous cover of Iron Maiden's 'Run To The Hills', which is either appalling or utterly inspired (it's appalling, by the way). You have to admire Martinsen's sheer straight-facedness when it comes to dropping that riff in its re-formatted disco fashion, and the comic, vocoded chorus is jus the icing on a very silly cake. Ushered in by the ace, Italo-styled intro, tracks like 'Original Material' provide a solid funk groove, as if more an edit than a production in its own right, while 'Mysterio' takes on more of an electro influence, something echoed by the frosty synths of 'R.I.P.R.A.W.' Martinsen clearly still has a lot to offer the fertile Norwegian disco scene, and gives some of the younger whippersnappers on the circuit a run for their kroner on thiis new LP.
