Sender/Receiver - I Am Spoonbender [1998]


"Tosses all manner of monkey wrench into what actually are, structurally speaking, mutated pop songs, melding avant-noise, sound collage, musique concrète, and video game belches; what comes out is wildly imaginative...actually reaches a level of noir-like viscidity."

Jaki Leibezeit devotees take note: here be lockstep drumming.

The Owl's Map - Belbury Poly



Familiar Ghost Box trooping of the tropes: Garner's The Owl Service; Machen machinations; the Great God Pan; Toopian sinister resonance of the uncanny; 70s local television rurally themed programmes.


 A rarefied furrow, rewardingly ploughed. Get with it.

Operation Hummingbird - Death In June [2000]


June 30 1934 Hitler launches the Röhm-Putsch aka Operation Hummingbird: political murder spree including liquidation of Röhm's paramilitary Sturmabteilung. Death In June...hmmmm(ing). 

Under-rated entry in Douglas P.'s martial oeuvre. Stirring.

The Triumph of Light...And Thy Thirteen Shadows of Love - Ordo Equilibrio [1997]



Kinky, overwrought and in thrall to C93-DIJ cyclic monotony n strum. Nevertheless, some tasty atmospherics created. A rubber-wrapped future beckons in the cold meat industry.

Clocks Are Like People - Circulus [2006]


Ancient wind instruments, vintage Moog synthesiser flourishes and what can only be termed, reluctantly, as Elizabethan harpsichord "work outs". Highly mannered, make that preposterous, baroque 'n' roll. Somehow, all captured in lead pantaloon's juxtaposition of period klobba and Specsavers eye-wear.

The whiff of generic coming of age 70s teen TV prog theme. Utterly, bewilderingly po-faced.

The Best Of George Formby [1994]


Indulge y brawd's occult attraction to George's insistent cheeky chappy double entendres and relentless right hand. With his ukelele in hand (or his little stick of Blackpool rock), mother, what'll he do now?

Vinonaamakasio - Shogun Kunitoki [2009]



With what our North American cousins are wont to call a "sophomore" effort, SK dial up the prog flourishes while sticking to core MO: synth and organ driven blissed out minimalist repetition in T. Riley styled psych face off.  Grappling bravely with cliche - grandeur via crescendo a la Godspeed - winning through by building intensity upon small sound bank  fortified into maelstrom of melodic texture. Tidy.
