The
Wire August 2004 (Byron Coley)
The Designer Babies may have a point in (more or less)
descibing themselves as the Melt-Banana of Nottingham. On
their second release, Baghdad Boogie/ R Mutt (Gringo 7")
they combine lots of elements inside of small spaces in ways
that are entertaining and noisy. Of course, doing the kind
of fast , hard editing that some of the Japanese groups have
perfected requires a kind of rigorous looseness that is hard
to mimic. It's imposssible to tell from this sole recording
just what these guys are like, especially live, but its a
goddamn interesting record. It might lack the overwhelming
heft of something like LIghtning Bolt, but then so do I.
