Top/ Tarot Sport (ATP Recordings, 2009) is the second studio album by the English experimental band Fuck Buttons. The album was produced by Andrew Weatherall. The songs "Surf Solar" and "Olympians" were released as singles. Fuck Buttons are a two-piece electronic group formed in Bristol, England early in 2004 by Andrew Hung and Benjamin John Power. Hung was influenced by Aphex Twin, while Power was a fan of post-rock band Mogwai. Immediately after forming, they played live whenever possible, soon amassing a cult following. New-Noise said that "rarely have two men sounded so much like the end of the world" and British newspaper The Observer called their sound "A joyous racket of swirling atmospherics and percussive gunfire" in an article highlighting them in a new wave of intelligent, literate British pop music. Hung and Power use a variety of instruments including Casiotone keyboards and children's toys such as a Fisher-Price karaoke machine. Their name was chosen to sound "playful and abrasive". Mojo Magazine called Street Horrrsing, the band's 2008 debut, "A 50 minute melange of iridescent synths, psychedelic drone, distorted vocals and tribal rhythm." Time Out magazine described the band's live sound as "adrenaline pumping, ear purging slab of towering, pristine noise…". In 2009, the band appeared at the Australian All Tomorrow's Parties event, alongside acts such as Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Necks and Spiritualized. The group are confirmed to play the ATP New York 2010 music festival in Monticello, New York in September 2010.
Bottom/ "Do It Again" (Astralwerks) is a song by the English electronic music duo The Chemical Brothers and was released as the first single from their 2007 studio album We Are the Night. The song also features Ali Love. The video for The Chemical Brothers"s "Do It Again" is similar to that of Fatboy Slim's "Ya Mama" video, which includes a tape that causes uncontrollable dancing.
