| Andy Meecham's second creation in his Emperor Machine guise, using his dub-drenched echo chamber to successfully blend the progressive sounds of 70's krautrock with 80's space disco, merging apparently disparate ideas to devastating effect.
Indeed as one critic has since put it, if you put Giorgio Moroder, Neu! & King Tubby in a studio on the dark side of the moon, they might well come up with something that sounded like this. On the title track, live instrumentation (Beebe on flute & Jamie Parkes on violin) drifts over arpeggio synths and astral beats, "Aimee Tallulah Is Hypnotised" provides a spacious sci-fi interlude before "The Symptomatic Removal Of The Sanity" kicks in with beats that rage beneath a dark celestial canopy of distant analogue pulses, guitar feedback and a show stealing bass line - this a true master work that adds new inflection to the 'retro futurist' paradox that is The Emperor Machine.  |
