Pop Will Eat Itself - Touched By The Hand Of Cicciolina

 
POP WILL EAT ITSELF
Touched By The Hand Of Cicciolina
1990 RCA
Pop Will Eat Itself always maintained their punk attitude, even when producing acid house/new beat-influenced dub tunes like Touched By The Hand Of Cicciolina. Released as 'The Unofficial World Cup Theme' in Spring 1990, the tune samples football fan chants, tv speakers, a female opera singer, and features trumpet, piano, a mighty bassline, and a breakbeat at 112bpm. Only occasionally, Clint and Graham of the Poppies chant their slogan of 'Cicciolina for Italia 1990', but the tune is rather to be called an instrumental. It has stood the test of time remarkably well, and from today's perspective it can be said that Pop Will Eat Itself were on one level with acid dub pioneers Renegade Soundwave and Meat Beat Manifesto in 1990.
