My opinion
Find Praga Khan credit information on AllMusic. Belgian studio wizard Praga Khan produced several of the rave world's biggest hits, under his own name as well as in conjunction with band projects (Lords of Acid, Digital Orgasm, Channel X) masterminded. Official video of Love - Praga Khan - Mutant Funk album. Recorded at the Anderlecht Slaughterhouse - Freezing cold.
'Hats off', is what i'd say to Praga Khan. Quite an accomplishment, what they're doing (insert here a refrain that is beginning to get quite boring on how in god's name it is possible that a group with such a status in the States is so underrated over here). That recognition obviously is a fact nowadays in our country, or how else would you qualify a band that can present their album on the roof of VTM, becomes 2nd in the album charts right after the release, is being spinned ad nauseaum by Studio Brussels and did more than their share of the honours as headliner of the first day of the rained-down Werchter-festival. Recognizition has happend, os again : 'Hats Off'.
However : Three songs .. counting again .. yes only three songs on Mutant Funk sustain the impression that Praga Khan is an exciting band. They are called 'Love', 'The Power of the Flower' and 'Sayonara Greetings'. The first for it's really deep lyrics (vb. A rock guitar, a candy barr, CD Rom, Atom Bomb, Silverwear, Teddy bear, Rocking chair, rasta hair, Superman, Peter Pan, U.F.O., Radio, Excorcists, Paper Clips, Bubble gum and laser guns .. but all you need is love : some thought went into this!), the second for its drive and nice psychedelic touch, and the third for the memories of days-gone-by that it stirs (Bowie in a Sisters of Mercy song in a Killing Joke sauce by an EBM band).
Everything else on Mutant Funk is trying very hard to be very pleasant audio-filling. Muzak for the techno generation. Of course the beat doesn't halt, and there are enough studio tricks in it to make a magician envious . but a strong melody, a grain of excitement or emotion, or just something that keeps you from dozing away .. nowhere to be found.
So instead of 'Hats Off', Praga Khan threw their hat at it (in dutch the expression 'throw your hat at it' means 'try casually, without giving it a lot of effort'). What saves the day for this release is that it comes with a second CD that's chockfull of video's and remixes of the best songs of '21st century skin', a record that does justify the current status of Praga Khan in this here Low Countries.
