What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Ant feeling happy.

Another artist truly pushing sonic boundries is Neil Campbell. His Astral Social Club stuff is totally out there and 'Model Town In Field Of Mud' is no exception. Alien synth layers morph around the room and mutate into cascading spectral bursts of heavenly electronic sounds. Forward thinking, trippy sounds to say the least. The tracks flow into each other nicely with a beautiful piece with eastern sounding strings closing the A-side. Things get even stranger on the flipside as our ears are treated to some deranged electronic birds tweeting over a gritty analogue techno stomp. The minimal techno he's been listening to recently has clearly been rubbing off on him.... Bloody great stuff this on French label Textile.

What the label says:

MODEL TOWN IN A FIELD OF MUD IS THE RESULT OF A COLLABORATION BETWEEN NEIL CAMBELL AND JOHN CLYDE EVANS. THIS ALBUM WAS RECORDED LARGELY THRU THE POST DURING JOHNS YEAR LONG STAY IN INDIA. (ALTHOUGH THE VERY LAST FEW MINUTES ARE THE DUO LIVE IN SHEFFIELD RIGHT AFTER HE RETURNED). THIS ALBUM IS A 50/50 COLLABORATION, HOPEFULLY THE FIRST OF MANY! JOHN CLYDE EVANS HAS A LENGHTY CAREER, EVEN IF HE DID DISAPPEAR&#xu201D; FOR A FEW YEARS. JOHN WAS IN THE BAND HOOD (DOMINO RECORDINGS) THEN CUT A COUPLE OF GREAT SOLO RECORDS, THEN DISAPEARED, REAPPEARING USING HIS SIKH NAME OF TIRATH SINGH NIRMALA, CUTTING AN LP WITH RICHARD YUONGS, THEN REVERTING HIS ORIGINAL NAME AND DROPING THE MAGNIFICENT APETAL THUNDERFALL&#xu201D; CD ON US EARLIER THIS YEAR!! NEIL CAMPBELL IS A CORNERSTONE OF THE UK UNDERGROUND AND PLAYED IN VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA, SUNROOF, A BAND, WITH RICHARD YOUNGS, DAMO SUSUKI AND MANY MANY OTHER ARTISTS. DESPITE SOME ESOTERIC PATH, MODEL TOWN IN A FIELD OF MUD RECONFIRM JOHN AND NEIL INTENTIONS TO BLAST TECHNO INTO THE STRATOSPHERE

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
