Dancer –Hate Generator/Love Seeds –Dawn DNS.1118 (1975 UK)
Come within for a dose of absurd Junkshop Bowie-ness . Hate Generator is pure ersatz Bowie much in the same vein as The Tigers On Vaseline. The vocals are just as weird and a real hoot, but the chorus is great and the analogue keyboards are pretty groovy too. The production and arrangement give the track an extra over-blown feel and the result is a totally bonkers tour-de-force...I couldn’t find any information on Paul Davies Holt who wrote and probably sang both sides or if he recorded anything else.

I worked beside Paul Holt in an advertising agency in New Bond Street, London. This was in in 1976/77, not long after he'd released this song. He came from Wales and his uncle had played for Heart of Midlothian Football Club. I lost touch with him after that but often wondered if he did ever make any more recordings. I always liked Hate Generator.
