Fun Fact – I’m an Aries. If you’ll indulge me a moment to delve into such frivolous astrological larks, you may or may not know that Aries the Ram and the Gemini twins supposedly can’t get enough of each other. The plural of anecdote is not evidence but as a typical Ram, I’ve found I’ve inadvertently surrounded myself with them and various close chums are Geminian – we go together like a wink and a smile, like sunshine and lollipops, like peaches and cream, or like a prolonged graphic scene of animals mating appearing on a wildlife documentary when your grandma’s visiting. As such I can spot a Gemini a mile off – warm, eager to please, versatile and oilers of the cogs of life, these social creatures will do or say anything for you and get on with anyone – equally, changeable is their middle name,  prone to flit off at a moment’s notice and flipside in a flash.  I’m not sat here drinking nettle tea in a kaftan and headscarf, poring over charts of the cosmos and calculating if I’m on the cusp of Virgo with an ascent in Sagittarius or anything; but despite my love of logic, hard evidence and rejection of superstition, I do harbour a vague interest in the personality traits attached to signs of the zodiac and whether folk subconsciously live up to them, rather than being convinced there is actually any mysterious astrological voodoo involved.

Thus my good-stuff radar started twitching upon merely the name of today’s offering, Gemini Club – surely I’d be onto a winner here, me & my favourite Gems? Imagine, a jolly little fan club of enthusiastic, cheerleading friendlings, all fervently agreeing with everything I say and catering to my every whim? Well, almost – a natty trio of young upstarts from Chicago that have billed alongside French Horn Rebellion, DJ Falcon and Juan Maclean, the band’s sound brings to mind an aural Venn diagram that straddles the golden triangle of synth/indie/electro which keeps my musical whims satisfied at the very least.

The sign of Gemini, the twins, is apparently represent the duality and changeability of their characters, and this is all beautifully apt in terms of what I offer you here; it seems the radar was on the money again. Two rather different takes on a rather lovely track from a rather lovely band that sent the aforementioned  good-stuff-o-meter into a bit of a twitch, both remixes of Ghost give it enough of the ol’ razzle dazzle to appease even the most fickle of ears. The Hey Champ remix keeps things upbeat and twinkles along merrily with boundless energy on the sunny side of the street, whilst the Midnight Conspiracy version skulks in the shadows with its darker, dirtier grind and a good smattering of robotic wobble to keep things adequately juxtaposed. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a tarot reading in half an hour so I will bid you good day.
