'Mechanical Children is Sarah Sullivan and Ben "The Touch" Jones ( two thirds of the legendary Jazzfinger ) and this is their debut album. Utilizing two knackered old drum machines ( though you'd never know it ) the duo take the listener on a molten ramble through a scrapyard of silver ghosts. The pacing and unspoken rythms of the thing are, not surprisingly, in keeping with much of the 'Finger back-catalogue, but this is a bolder, starker affair, more straight lines, black light, none of that fog, that rusting mist, no, no, no, this is more akin to the drawn-out sex-moan of a dilapidated robot-king. It's bloody awesome, and quite bonkers. Richard Dawson aka Eyeballs. Limited to only 85 copies.
