Reviews

Bowlegsmusic.com Review:
7.8 out of 10
Roll up for another instalment of Moon Wiring Club’s trademark ‘Edwardian computer game music’. A mix of theatrical whimsy, eldritch darkness and maverick chemistry, MWC manages to combine aspects of experimental bass music with the atmosphere of circus shows and sideshow lore. English stiff upper lip and schadenfreude prevails like a ‘Tales of the Unexpected’ (look it up kids) for the dance 2 generation, with the Playstation as the weapon of choice. There’s a strong kinship with the Ghostbox stable; like a 1950’s séance soundtracked by experimental electronics, there is a consummate showman at work here – shadows and ectoplasm revealed to be no more than smoke, mirrors and wallpaper paste.
None of this is to diminish its mastery of its own coordinates – samples, voices and electronics meshing to soundtrack the spookiest of Hammer productions. MWC’s Ian Hodgson is also responsible for the superb retro Biba imagery and contextual material that accompanies it. It’s an attractive, clever and at times uneasy blend; as much about an understanding of context as it is about an appreciation of the tonalities within. It’s a sprawling album that complements a prolific output; if you like your electronics set in foggy Edwardian England, with Frankenstein on the stage and the Ripper on the streets – then look no further.
