1000 OHM - Love In Motion

For the latest missive on their reissue-focused Attic Salt Discs imprint, Dusty-fingered duo Colin Volvert and Otto Kraanen have snapped up the rights to a sought-after 1984 cut from Belgian new wave band 1000 Ohm. You’ll find their original vocal and instrumental versions on the A-side, with both sounding like a delightful cross between bubbly Italo-disco, Bobby ‘O’ style Hi-NRG and the imperial synth-pop of the Pet Shop Boys. Arguably even better than both original mixes is Vanzetti and Sacco’s more dancefloor-focused flipside edit. While this does make use of 1000 Ohm’s Heaven 17/ABC style vocals and cheery melodies, there’s far more focus on the druggy arpeggio groove and chunky drum machine beats.
