The Chemistry Set
She's Taking Me Down Tsunami Music

Article written by Ged M - Dec 1, 2009

A quick Google search and I find that this band aren’t as new to me as I thought; they released their psych-pop on several flexis and contributed to a Syd Barrett tribute album at the turn of the 80s-90s. Then they gave up music until fanatical interest from Spain persuaded them to have another shot. A Spanish club DJ, DJ Gato, has gone to work on ‘She’s Taking Me Down’, which is here in its original (from their Alchemy 101 album) and remixed forms. This is whimsical English psych-pop that nicks the chiming guitar riff from the Beatles’ ‘Taxman’ (s'alright, so did the Jam). DJ Gato gives it full fuzzed up psychedelic force in its long edit (7’16") and a slightly baggy feel in the radio edit. There’s also a velvety psychedelic new song ‘La Logica Del Canvi’, sung in Catalan. Their old psychedelia has become nu-psychedelia without losing its powerpoppy charm.
