The Fantasy presents
Glass Traps EP


A1 "Nite Flights", Walker Brothers, USA/UK, 1978
The hypnotically haunting title track from the Walker Brothers often forgotten classic 1978 album "Nite Flights", almost part of the Eno / Bowie / Visconti "Low" Trilogy. Given the full Fantasy treatment, this album cut is turned into an imagined 12" version, extending out the lush strings of some sort of disco euphoria before you are faced with the most puzzling and profound lyrics since Baudelaire.

A2 Glass Traps (bonus beats) 2:13
"Nite Flights", Walker Brothers, USA/UK, 1978
This is the Minimalism (as in Terry Riley, Steve Reich) version, with a rhythm track. Hypnotic and almost a musical palindrome.

B 
33 RPM
B1 SevCo 4:53
"Always Randy" aka "50 Hz", Severed Heads, Austrailia, 1981
A totally hypnotic proto house bassline guy from Tom Ellard's Severed Heads, from a rare cassette in 1981, released in another form on Adenoids. Turned into the lost house jacker that it should be.

B2 NO Maestro 4:57
"All I Do Everyday", The Meters, USA, 1977
This is an edit of a track that only appears as a bonus cut on the CD reissue of The Meters final LP "New Directions". I can only presume the band was all hating each other and paranoid about each individual not getting their props as the true pioneers of funk that they were. This is a collaboration between the bassist and the drummer only, and ironically is the only Meters cut with a drum machine. Given The Fantasy treatment for your pleasure.
