The Waxonia Desk’s selection
Three records that pass for pop singles until you notice that nothing inside them behaves like one. A sampled interview, a vocal that will not resolve, and a techno record with a tune it never apologised for.

Inner City / Good Life
Detroit techno behaving like a pop record and refusing to apologise for it. The genre spent the following decade deciding whether that was a betrayal or the entire point.
Massive Attack / Unfinished Sympathy
Strings, a slow breakbeat, and a vocal that refuses to resolve. It sounds like a pop single until you notice that nothing in it behaves the way a pop single is supposed to.
The Orb / Little Fluffy Clouds
A sampled interview, a Steve Reich loop and a beat, assembled into something that should not work at all. The line between a remix and a record is nowhere to be found on it.
