Galaxies feat. Haffi Haff – Sex Freak

Ooh, hot and pumping!

Tom: “I think it’s hot and pumping,” says innuendo-laden Europlop reader Lisa. “A bit long for radio but great on the dancefloor.”

Tim: Ooh, hot and pumping! Yes please.

Galaxies ft. Haffi Haff – Sex Freak by Hands Up Music

Tom: I’m always suspicious when we get a fairly unknown track like this submitted – one that has, for instance, only had 43 plays this week. Is “Lisa” really a front for the song’s publicist?

Tim: Now, now, Tom, be nice.

Tom: Lisa is right, of course; it is long for radio, and a bit… well, generic for a club. I can see it getting mixed into the middle of a club set somewhere, but I doubt it’s going to get anyone’s hands in the air.

Tim: Sounds about right. I like that bloke saying ‘Good evening’ randomly in the middle, though – all polite.

Tom: And didn’t mixing in sex-noise samples go out with E-Rotic?

Tim: Oh, God, I’d completely forgotten about them. You know, you’re weird – I’ve told you that, right?

Galaxies – I Don’t Want This Love

Ground-breaking and original? Not really.

Tim: A new two-piece from Iceland. Based on this, I’m hoping they’ll hang around.

Tim: Ground-breaking and original? Not particularly, although the flute and violin they play during the bridge do take it somewhere unexpected, and nice.

Tom: When they finally kicked in, I was thinking “it’s about bloody time”. Does it change at all during the first two and a half minutes? I’m not sure it does.

Tim: Not really, and it’s not particularly catchy either, or memorable, but what it is is happy, and cheerful, and it’s very much put-down-your-drinks-and-make-your-way-to-the-dancefloor. It’s somewhat reminiscent of a couple of recent Eurovision dance tracks – more stylistically than melodically, but it still puts me in mind of This Is My Life, and definitely not in a bad way.
