Lives &; Privacy (94-89) by Mr Maxted

5...according to our on Fri 08 Aug, 2008.

Every so often the fairies come and bring special things. What a pleasant surprise when the dropped off a wicked LP on Mordant Music. The mysterious Mr. Maxted has a stonking album called 'Lives & Privacy (94-89)'. Now I could probably rant on forever about this but I'll spare the waffle and just tell you that if you like early Human League/ The Future, the sleazy analogue stomp of Belgian New Beat, post industrial electronics, Dark futuristic electro/techno, vocoders, Roland drum machines and the Jupiter 8 synth, deranged Dalek sounds etc then this is a must. An absolute cracker on silver vinyl to boot.

'Lives & Privacy (94-89)' brings together nine archive minimal synth tracks from the vaults of Roehampton's feral analog spectre Mr Maxted...residing somewhere in the sullied vein of early Portion Control/Severed Heads, these late eighties/early nineties tape emissions have only just seen the light of day...the deft lilting lines of 'Consequence' and 'People I Know' really hit the spot here in the Nesst and that's why MM decided to spank the vinyl Jodrell again...this album is full of depth, mood and mirth and we urge you to snap the fucker up before Scandinavia gets wind of it ::
