© Viewlexx 1997 Written and produced by Ferenc E. van der Sluijs "I-F, short for Interr-Ference, also known as Ferenc, Beverly Hills 808303. Affiliations: Murder Capital, the Hotmix cartel, The Parallax Corporation, the Viewlexx empire, Interdimensional Transmissions, Top Secret/Test Series; ties to Disko B, other covert recording outfits. Pushes product throughout the globe, specializes in stuttering 808s and throbbing basslines, and inspirational to the careers of countless electro acts on the come up. Headquartered in The Hague, Holland, known to have alliances with electro brokers in Rotterdam (southwestern Holland connection), known associate of Unit Moebius, the Bunker Records posse, and other black budget artistic projects. His mission is simple: to make people listen to different music. It has lead him to create the disco music side-project The Parallax Corporation, his radio show at home, and his various labels to sponsor unknown producers." This track "Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass" came out in 1997, I heard it for the first time in 1998 on the Groove Vol 3 compilation (EFA) thinking it was a pretty creative Electro track with warped synths and another excellent production from I-F. First issued on vinyl on I-F's own Viewlexx label, then it was included on the debut I-F album "Fucking Consumer" in 1998 on the German Disko B label. That same year it came to the USA via Ectomorph's Interdimensional Transmissions label and was featured on the "From Beyond" compilation. Apparently this track also helped inspire the beginning of the short lived Electroclash movement (2001-2004) that was lead by such artists as Fischerspooner, Peaches, and Vitalic. However, I-F has said in 2004 to Mtv Nordic he doesn't care for his music being exploited, and didn't want "to be part of your Electroclash shit". Since this track was inspired by the video game Space Invaders, I included images of actual space invader sprites in the video along with images of all the different vinyl releases this track got including the CD singles artwork.
