Grauzone's 1980 cut "Raum" has long been an overlooked gem - a heavyweight, dancefloor-centric post-punk disco cut that was previously hidden away on a hard-to-find compilation. Thankfully WRWTFWW Records has decided to give it a single release, accompanying the re-mastered original - a killer blend of spacey electronic pulses, punk-funk bass, snaking sax lines and electronic pulses - with some brilliant new remixes. The standout rework comes from Naum Gabo, who joined forces with Liquid Liquid man Dennis Young to deliver a percussive, low-slung take rich in fuzzy guitars, jaunty electronic melodies and breathless male vocals. The Ata Extended Mix, which opts for a more dubbed-out sound, more picturesque melodies and echo-laden guitars, is also rather special.
