What we say This record left our Mingus feeling ecstatic. Mount Vernon Arts Lab: "The Seance at Hobs Lane" (Ghost Box) is a reissue from 2001 opening with what sounds like sizzling charcoal brickettes smouldering to an explosion. This is on the label, lumped together most recently by Simon Reynolds as part of a scene-unseen, mentioned in the same breath as Mordant and Trunk for their fondness for brooding keyboard experiments, wavering synth lines, ghostly reissues and odes to a bygone age of public information film music, childhood nostalgia; Dr Who theme music, The Clangers etc. This recording by Drew Mulholland, displays a fondness for heavy analog science, harsh oscillations, sinewave manipulation, haunted soundscapes and a dynamic that flits between a Dalek's digestive system and a David Lynch reverie. Yeah! it really is that good, Ladies and gents we are in the midst of a concept album that conjures up the spookiness of a real life site of apparitions dotted around & about the Thames. What the label says: Track Listing The Fog Detonator Hobgoblins* The Mandrake Club Dashwood's Reverie* The Black Drop* Sir Keith at Lambeth The Submariner's Song* The Vauxhaull Labyrinth While London Sleeps Warminster 4 Percy Toplis

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
