Platform Soul was written by Hilton Coldstream and Van Credenza shortly before Coldstream was kidnapped and presumably killed in the Far East. The band had been reluctant to record the tune, but vocalist Biscuit has nagged the rest of the group to do so: this is the result.
A return to the glitter era with a robotic twist in the tale, Platform Soul samples various drum parts from the ‘seventies. Hilton owned a robot which sported outrageous platform sole boots: unfortunately it was never returned to him after the police impounded it as evidence when he was accused of human trafficking back in 2008. The case never came to trial, although following Coldstream’s disappearance, an upswing in the Vietnamese population appeared to occur in his old locality.
So here we have it, yet another tribute to the maverick, the innovator, and perhaps the perverted criminal that was Hilton Coldtream.
