DAWN OF THE REPLICANTS – THE SINGLES COLLECTION

SOUND: ‘BUST THE TRUNK’ - the singles
Following in the long history of greatest hits 45 collections and golden moments on their 10th anniversary Dawn Of The Replicants bring you a singles collection that rivals ‘Abba Gold’ and the ‘Complete Miles Davis’ in the category ‘most electrifying compilation’.

‘Bust the Trunk’ pop’s the A side Padlock and lets you peek-a-boo through a stunningly diverse assortment of richly different tracks that will inspire and delight you.

Fashions and trends blow like mists through the night but The Replicants have always delivered and here’s the proof...

22 tracks side by side like slices of granny’s gingerbread chew. From the kaleidoscopic pop set out by their scrapes with the charts ‘Candlefire’ and ‘Hogwash Farm’ to the stunning groove hungry gin soaked fire brands of late ‘Rockefeller Centre 1932’,’Fix the Air’, ‘Everyone in Heaven is Afraid of Heights’.

Mr David ‘Hollywood film soundtracks’ Holmes and Tim ’LCD Soundsystem’ Goldsworthy are included via their remix of the Replicants track ‘Skullcrusher’ - which will be lifted as a single later this year with it’s own little fluffy monster’s on holiday video and a new 2006 Replicants version.

"DOTR are a wonky delight....the Da Vinci of lyrical invention" MOJO

DOTR are a national treasure, a Bastian of all that is anti cool, pure hearted and god damned different; John Peel loved them and so should you it’s not only time to ‘Bust the Trunk’ but to bust your peepers too.

“genuine psychedelic pop perfection” Rock Sound

VISION: ‘BUST YOUR PEEPERS’ - the videos plus

Ah yes it’s a game of 2 halves. Dawn of the Replicants also offer you over 100 minutes of Pop videos, live footage and interviews in the form of their ‘Bust Your Peepers’ free bonus DVD. This limited edition offers viewers the chance to skip through the Replicants visual archive which includes the ‘Hogwash Farm’ video, directed and produced by the team behind the cult classic ‘Man Bites Dog’ plus the recently MTV approved videos for ‘Oh Bumblebee’ and ‘Fix the Air’ as well as other video gems such as the recently recovered, joy division-esk live flick for ‘Cocaine on the Catwalk’ and the deliciously punky ‘Rice Cake Rabbit Soul’ video.

On Top of all of this there are 2 fly on the wall documentaries in the form of the East West years; a tour diary of their 1998 British Tour which also covers the recording of their ‘ Wrong Town, Wrong Planet, Three hours late’ LP and their vitriolic Reading Festival Performance. It’s sister matinee documents the band’s recent trip to Texas to play the South by South West Festival, giving you an intimate and funny look at the life of being a Replicant, no champagne lunches for these boys, that would be too easy, instead lot’s of Mexican food, line dancing and trampolining.

"DOTR don't so much plough their own furrow as invent an entirely new farm in which all the livestock speak Spanish and wear funny hats, they are, as hip hoppers say, on some other shit" NME

I kid you not it’s here and it’s happening and there’s no reason for anyone to miss out!
