Helmed by a crew of ex-pats in Hong Kong craving the musical stimulation of their birthplaces, Homesick is a celebration of the nostalgia and passion at the root of all musical experience, as channeled through seriously on-point disco edits. After choice turns from General Ludd, Marquis Hawkes and others, this various artists 12inch brings back former guests in an implied fashion for more of that worldly, adventurous boogie business. Apocalypse Now simmers with unresolved tension, tart drums and gnarled synth lines, while African Temperament lets the percussion tumble in a cavernous space. Summer Madness is a simmering, drum led version of KC Flightt s classic, and then Gik Gwong Zung pings the record off into cosmic synth disco territory for a perfect finishing move.
