The flip side to the forthcoming mix of ‘L’amour Et La Violence’ by Floating Points is a complete reworking of Tellier’s neo-romantic Kubrickian fantasy ‘Fingers Of Steel’ by Penguin Prison. Assimilating a perfect brew of down-town funk hybrids his unique re-imagining features Penguin Prison himself on lead vocals, crooning a blue-eyed cover, whilst Tellier steps up solely to sing his own BV’s on the chorus. It’s a swirl of space-funk with added pop appeal, a Talking Heads-Tom Tom Club mélange of the highest funk factor.
