Swiftly moving on to Man From Uranus with their brand new album called 'Amazing Science Friction Volume One'. The picture of the shite alien on the press release swung me to bang this on the stereo as soon as it arrived. It was all a bit too Blake Seven for Brett who' is the official office 'Mr HD'. This rules.... bonkers electronics in a library music styling which I think is gonna appeal to folks who like the Radiophonic Workshop (on acid) gear as well as Ghost Box shenanigans. It's probably a bit more playful than those folks though..... think of the music a 1970's super computer would be making on an Open University special. It does go a bit spazzed out and fans of Agoskodo Teliverek will recognise a song from their album on here played with MFA. It's a lot of fun though and it doesn't take itself too seriously. Lots of spaceship whirring noises and outer space weirdness pervade this 23 track funstick but as a child brought up on Sapphire & Steel this rules my world. Well recommended!!AMAZING SCIENCE FRICTION VOL.ONE is the first CD release for MAN FROM URANUS on his
new label ((((outer music)))) beginning a campaign of several LP and CD releases in the following
years to come.
This first CD serves as a foundational retrospective of music made by MFU between
2003 and 2008 at the Advanced Centre for Outer Music in Cambridge UK,
and includes 23 moods of all varieties played mainly on analogue and digital
synthesizers, electric combo organs, theremin etc.
Had Karlheinz Stockhausen made LoFi Electronic Rock music and been into Jean-Jacques Perrey and The Stooges, then this is close to what it would have sounded like - abstract, weird, outer Space - Beautiful
melodies, scary moments, excessive daft sillyness. Lots of stilted Cartoon pop and synthesizer solo freakouts.
Includes collaborations with Agaskodo Teliverek, Broadcast, horn and cello players, and amateur YouTube solo death metal drummers captured and slowed down on magnetic tape producing the effect of John Bonham in a blender.
