ghoulish gaiety - you're a bit late.

...

There's an urban legend in South Korea that an electric fan can cause sudden death by suffocation, hypothermia or poisoning. No, they don't believe the fan morphs into a monster and slays them, just, simply, that the electric fan can chop up oxygen molecules, leaving none to breathe; that it creates a vortex that sucks all the oxygen out of the air; that it uses up the oxygen and creates more carbon dioxide...mental.

So, out of the manga-fuelled madness saunters Fan Death, the protégés of the Erol Alkan, to deliver a whole load of synth slaughter. Last year, out came 'Veronica's Veil', and now a new offering of 'Cannibal' that is every decent drag-queen's dream. It's downcast-disco with an upbeat tempo; they sing like all the greats did, with nonchalance, and yet it's a diamond tear you'll find on their cheeks.
