Title:	Fall Right Now
Label:	PLAYHOUSE (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	PLAY 005CD

"Rework are a trio and consist of Laetitia, Daniel Varga And Michael Kübler. It's about pop music, sometimes to dance to, sometimes to dream to, sometimes to sing along to. Accordingly, the new LP, Fall Right Now, is equally eclectic. The album begins with the fierce club stomper 'You're So Just Just' released as an advance single release in November 2002. Who's dominating who? In any case it won't surprise anyone who's heard the track that when it comes to 'sexy accents' French women are even exploited in beer commercials. 'Not Quite Like Any Other' is pleasantly reminiscent of this other Francophile trio, Saint Etienne, though with her husky, slightly off-key sounding vocals Laetitia sounds more like Nico Päffgen than Sarah Cracknell. The next piece, 'October Love Song' (a cover version of a Chris & Cosey song), is the perfect mixture of LIO and Neue Deutsche Welle, German new wave. Next comes 'I Think You Think' with darkest new wave disco and Laetitia amazingly manages to go even lower by one octave. 'Explain Our Sync' has the effect of an electro skit that resets the receptors in your ears. The tribal funkiness of 'Loin De Moi' is followed by the simple, but perfect 'Amoureuse'. Then 'What You Want' fuses Basic Channel, Kraftwerk, Joy Division And Grace Jones. Sixties-inspired 'Le Pop' can be heard on 'Affaire Classée', and with the well-known hypno beat of 'Anyway I Know You' the albums ends. 'Fall Right Now' is really one of a kind. The ten tracks oscillate between different worlds that may seem irreconcilable for narrow-minded listeners but seem to fit together as a matter of course for the members of Rework. Let's go to the arts cinema down the road and watch 'Bonjour Tristesse' with subtitles. Then we can put on black eyeliner and go to the WMF. Sounds good? Then play this record before some copywriter or other turns these influences into a kind of lifestyle, or they take this music to serve in a commercial for a French brand of cigarettes."

Title:	Pysch Doll
Label:	PLAYHOUSE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	PLAY 118EP

"Stuttgart's finest trio Rework are back with 3 new tracks and a new singer named Sille. And what a return! Psych Doll is offering typical Rework ingredients, great shaker action and a bassline reminiscing of their massive hit 'You're So Just Just.' Add new voice Sille and you have a perfect Rework vehicle to unleash on the dancers. Last but not least we have Roman Flügel's 'Hot Asphalt Mix' of 'Jogging Beat,' a song which can be found in its original version on the parallel 7" release together with another Flügel mix on PLAY 119. Flügel seems to enter Grime territory here, but with a wink. Everyone's head will start to nod after a few seconds into the track. Lots of fun and a great arrangement! 'Geht's Noch?'"

Title:	Jogging Beat
Label:	PLAYHOUSE (GERMANY)
Format:	7"
Price:	$8.00
Catalog #:	PLAY 119EP

"Straight from the vaults of Rework and Playhouse we have dug out this tiny miniature of beautiful and wondrous sounds named 'Jogging Beat' and put it onto the format of formats: the magical 45rpm 7". 'Jogging Beat' is a very charming song that's perfect for getting up as well as going to bed. And of course for all the hours in between... Ah, sheer pop bliss! Roman Flügel was wandering over hot asphalt on Rework's new 12" Psych Doll (PLAY 118) for another remix of 'Jogging Beat.' But if you wanna hear what he did before he stepped on the hot tar, then take a few minutes for his 'Tender Feet Mix.'"

Title:	Love Love Love Yeah
Label:	PLAYHOUSE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	PLAY 131EP

Rework present three new ditties to tease you and please you. The trio begins with one of the most sung themes in music history: love. "Love Love Love Yeah" is a cool bassline-dominated dancer that's groovy as fuck and has this special feel-good atmosphere all over it. "Bus Driver" takes us on a bumpy ride to nowhere. Electro 'n roll at its best. Short regeneration with "Christiane" and on to "So Cold"'s manic shuffle-beat-non-stop-dancing-command. Totally irresistible and charming.

Title:	Love Love Love Yeah Remixes Part 1
Label:	PLAYHOUSE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	PLAY 138EP

Paris DJ Rework and producer Chloé made a visit to Stuttgart to give "Love Love Love Yeah" the special French treatment. Beats, basslines and samples from the original vocal by Rework's singer are thrown into the echo chamber and come out as a fine blend of dub-infused sounds. Rework's "Chelsea Girls Mix" has a completely different atmosphere than the banging original mix. This is a much more bouncy affair -- a cool, understated and very charming DJ tool. Yet another reason to convert to the Rework sound.
