In the year of drug songs which was 1967, Jefferson Airplane’s haunting Alice fantasy ‘White Rabbit’ took the space-cake and bit the surrealistic pillow, Grace Slick’s ethereal war-cry to ‘Feed your head’ becoming a clarion call for the first summer of love. Somehow Mojo Filter has got hold of Gracie’s vocal parts and uses them to deadly effect on the trippiest tune to appear since The Orb first blasted off the launch-pad. Amidst a hallucinogenic barrage of Alice speech-bites, dream sequence floatation and talking rabbits, he injects a subtly-contagious groove undertow to hold the trip together, creating a wigged-out monster in the process. The bit where Grace’s full vocal wafts in and is then allowed to build to its deadly climax is mindblowing. Remix-wise, Fear Of Theydon go for a subtly cool take which emphasises the song’s insidious magic, while [Sic] label boss D.K.S. spikes the song with a tech-house treatment which builds a screaming drop which blows the head off after the requisite head-feeding. Finally, Anarchy Rice go for breaks, acid and a dose of Fear And Loathing, completing a lysergic mega-package which shows how a timeless song can win through whatever the setting.
