 Operation Twilight: 23 Skidoo OPT 023
One side was recorded live at last year's Womad bash, it is fairly typical (!) of the Skidoo's live performances of that period: thrusting sucking belching noise with a 'lock groove' in the middle (after the stifling "Stifling") that is the neatest trick (and kick) on the album.
Right now, cynical music press writer that I am, 23 Skidoo remind me of a magician who has done one baffling trick with his hands and who, mystified himself by how he did it, tries to repeat it by going through fairly the same motions but without whipping out a bunny at the end.
Skidoo didn't last the pace -- indeed didn't play the game, wouldn't join the race but shed, instead, two of the members once accepted as their public image and simply did something else.

A differenza del dark-punk, che proponeva canzoni melodiche mascherate da drammi esistenziali, e della musica industriale, che proponeva cataclismi sonori mascherati da incubi freudiani, i 23 Skidoo approfondirono l'aspetto propriamente esoterico.

Hexagram 23 in the 'I Ching' oracle means "break apart." 23 in telegrapher's code means "break the line." Aleister Crowley defined number 23 as "parting, removal, separation, joy, a thread, and life.

 * Dusted Reviews - 23 Skidoo *
23 Skidoo traced a pretty distinct path throughout the entirety of their vastly underrated career.
In 1986, as evidenced by the two tracks from an Illuminated twelve-inch, the band began measuring their affinity for dub, dancehall, and reggae with a new ear towards electro and hip hop.
At the time, I suppose it could have been said that the band was guilty of aiming too high, of trying to gain some sort of synesthesia between too many types of disparate music.

 [ experimental ] titles at Aquarius Records
The seminal experimental funk outfit 23 Skidoo has finally re-released their mid-'80s single "Coup." Not long ago the Chemical Brothers sampled the funky rhythm on "Coup", but avoided giving 23 Skidoo any money by re-programming the rhythm digitally, which somehow exempted them from having to actually license the sample.
This 23 Skidoo album stands as a notable detour from their martial rhythms fused with agitated, post-punk funk which found them lumped in with the likes of The Pop Group, Cabaret Voltaire, and Hula.
The 23 Skidoo reissues may be some of the most important to come out this year.

 San Francisco - Music - 23 Skidoo
By 1987, drum machines and glassy synthesizers marked 23 Skidoo's progression toward electronic music, though the sampled ululations of "Magrhebi" nod to the earlier years' Fourth World leanings.
While occasionally sounding dated, the best of 23 Skidoo's later work approximates the big beat funk of the Mo' Wax label, patching together rock-steady breaks, raucous horn stabs, and snatches of tabla.
Over time, the members of 23 Skidoo learned their way around the recording studio, but the initial gutter funk and glacial drones ultimately trump the later, more polished romps, ably portraying England's uneasy balance of technology, exoticism, and alienation.
