Belgium.
The home of cool.
As the missing link between Belgian new beat – the early 80s scene which
they curated on the Série Noire compilations – and the rock’n’roll
freestyle of fellow Ghent-dwellers Soulwax, The Glimmers are
at the heart of Belgium’s unlikely renaissance as a crucible of
cool. This mix of electro, rock and disco shows that their fingers
are on the funk as firmly as they are on the zeitgeist, although, despite a
re-edit nip and tuck, even they can’t make Billy Idol sound any cop. They’re
damn good DJs, not sodding miracle workers.
