the poleheads were a creative manifestation of dave green who was on
the 1997 & 1998 spins... i remember going to see them at heebeegeebees in
liverpool on a long good friday in 1998... the house system had a low
frequency bass that was so thunderous that it literally made the building
vibrate
if memory serves me right i think bill and dave had talked about the
poleheads being the next klf and dave had made great play of this during the 98
spin... in turn this was also claimed by members of x$x who were also on that
years spin... couple that with all the deliberate disinformation being peddled -
rather naturally lines became blurred
the track on bber was a lot more polished than the live gig and i reckon
thats how mr green got signed later that year
interestingly i never experienced anything quite as awe inspiring as the
low frequency boom that night until that is we let off military thunder
flashes in the basement vault of the foundry which quite frankly i'd
imagine pisses on everything short of an actual bomb!

1998 The Poleheads
Back in 98 when Gimpo was running his Millennium Crisis Site there was
talk of a group called the Poleheads having a track called Kiss on the Big
Beat Elite Repeat album. Rumor at the time was that it
might-be-THEM.
I ordered said album but what I got was the 1st volume (big beat
elite). Deeming it too costly to send it back to the UK I just kept it
and never got the Repeat disc.
Never really gave BBE a chance at the time but it stood out when looking
at the CD wall so I took it to the car with me. Quite enjoyed it,
actually! Now I'm thinking of finding the Repeat disc and started
thinking about this track.
Obviously it turned out to not be B/J. But does anyone recall why
we thought it might be them in the first place? Why Gimpo made mention
announcing the release of the track? Was the track any good?
