CUM: A MUSICAL HISTORY
In the late Nineties, rock'n'roll musician Duncan
Graham becme increasily
drawn to electronic dance music (especially the more perverted and fucked-up
realms of house that he found at clubs like Razor, Tasty and Freakazoid).
For a wee while he worked as a DJ around Melbourne, using the name Camp
David. He also began to craft his own electronic tunes around this time,
culminating in a collaboration with old pal Paul Huntingford. Together,
recording as Cum, they put together two killer tracks, a 17 minute amped-up
electro-prog workout on the breakthrough 1966 psychedelic John Lennon cut
Tomorrow Never Knows (to mark its 40th birthday), and a bitchy house stomper
called I'm Champagne.
With three remixes thrown in for bad measure, these cuts were released
on CD in 2006 as the EP Pink Noise. As Huntingford has now returned to
live in Sydney, further episodes from the Cum story are yet to be realized,
but our fingers are still crossed.
