The Electronic Tomato
The Electronic Tomato, a side-project of macdonald duck eclair and Italian unit Valvola, has a self-titled album out on S.H.A.D.O. Records in Italy. The electro/disco/punk album includes new versions of MDDE songs, and also covers of Iggy Pop, Kylie Minogue and Le Forbici di Manitu' and remixes.
MDDE's Web site announce it as coming out in September, but it seems available already at SonicRocket (Italy) for only €12.90, so I've just placed an order! :)
SonicRocket's review:
" THE ELECTRONIC TOMATO is the debut album of the great Japanese girl-band moved to London, real agitators of the Elettronica Electro/Disco Punk scene, a mixture between underground rock and dancefloor rhythms, upward trend of the last years. The album is composed of ten Electro Punk Rock songs of a rare beauty, rhythmically perfect, a synth-rock album of our-days influenced by the '80s sound and by the re-discover of the best Underground Italo-Disco, a new style that we'll soon hear. The foaming punk trio of girls propose, among the songs, a dreamy cover-version of the famous Kilye Minogue's hit "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", "Amoreux Solitaires" by Lio - the Pop Queen from the '80s at the first places in all the charts in that time - and the abrasive "Funtime" of the rock icon Iggy Pop, here in a Cold-Wave Electro-Punk version, perfectly in rule with the sound of the European dancefloors. The Electronic Tomato is the antidote to win the dislike that is pervading the contemporary electronic scene, and let us hope for the future!!!! IT' S ONLY ROCK'N ROLL, BUT WE LOVE IT! "
