▓████▓▌ [ A B O U T . T H i S . R E L E A S E ] ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ David Edwards started making music during his long ▓▌
▓████▓▌ lazy university days spent studying Swansea's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ record shops like a poor man's DJ Shadow. This was ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the late 90s, and there was nothing to lose. Except ▓▌
▓████▓▌ an education. Luckily, he hooked up with a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ like-minded student who taught him the rudiments of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ computer music and lent him an Atari. Which he ▓▌
▓████▓▌ sold. He still feels guilty about that, especially ▓▌
▓████▓▌ since said student recently got in touch. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Upon returning to the motherland (Bristol, UK), he ▓▌
▓████▓▌ hooked up (demo-wise) with the embryonic Manchester ▓▌
▓████▓▌ label, Melodic. Let's ignore the geographical ▓▌
▓████▓▌ issues there for now. Melodic were suitably ▓▌
▓████▓▌ impressed and were really excited to release the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ first Minotaur Shock record, the Bagatelle EP. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Think: Boards Of Canada. And then think of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ something far more beautiful" NME ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Things went from good to better, and shortly ▓▌
▓████▓▌ afterwards the Motoring Britain EP was released to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ more applause. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The debut album, Chiff-Chaffs And Willow Warblers, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ was released in 2001 and it's blend of kindly ▓▌
▓████▓▌ electronics and toasty acoustics won it plaudits ▓▌
▓████▓▌ from all corners. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Warmth, not trickery, is Minotaur's aim, a target ▓▌
▓████▓▌ struck with confidence and skill" Q ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Hailed as a frontrunner in the hastily coined (and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ hastily denied) æFolktronica' genre, Chiff-Chaffs ▓▌
▓████▓▌ did the job nicely. Recruiting a band which ▓▌
▓████▓▌ straddled Bristol's underground indie and hip hop ▓▌
▓████▓▌ scenes (with members of both Movietone (Domino) and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Hombre Records' head honcho) David played numerous ▓▌
▓████▓▌ live shows, including a headline slot at one of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ stages at the Sonar Festival in Barcelona. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The Rockpoolin' EP followed the release of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ album, which was followed by a collection of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ early Minotaur Shock EPs on a compilation called ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Rinse. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Since the release of Rinse, David has been ▓▌
▓████▓▌ concentrating on writing pop music with his ▓▌
▓████▓▌ extra-curricular band Bronze Age Fox, who are ▓▌
▓████▓▌ busily carving their own particular furrow with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ their blend of traditional songwriting, skewed ▓▌
▓████▓▌ production values and oddly shaped singles. The ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Bronze Age Fox Compilation, released in 2004, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ compiled the band's output to date. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Possibly our classiest leftfield pop band û a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ British answer to Phoenix" NME 8/10 ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Having completed Bronze Age Fox's as yet unreleased ▓▌
▓████▓▌ debut album proper, David turned his hand back to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Minotaur Shock, refreshed by the cleansing power of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ pop music, and ready to go it alone once more. ▓▌

▓████▓▌ -------------------------------- MARITIME ▓▌
▓████▓▌ TRACK-BY-TRACK -------------------------------- ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1 Muesli ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "This is the closest thing to a sailor's hornpipe ▓▌
▓████▓▌ you'll find here. It was also an attempt to not use ▓▌
▓████▓▌ drums, which I nearly managed." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 2 (She's In) Drydock Now ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "The tale of the final voyage of a successful but ▓▌
▓████▓▌ outdated ocean liner. The party begins on one side ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of the Atlantic, but as the æLast Harbour' looms ▓▌
▓████▓▌ nearer, so she begins to reflect on former ▓▌
▓████▓▌ glories." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 3 Vigo Bay ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "The mutant-disco sound of eager rogue treasure ▓▌
▓████▓▌ hunters as they ready their equipment. They manage ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to get underwater but our story ends before they ▓▌
▓████▓▌ find what they are looking for. I tried to play ▓▌
▓████▓▌ guitar like David Gedge on this one, and it's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ harder than it looks." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 4 Six Foolish Fishermen ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "A reference to the old tale about the six brothers ▓▌
▓████▓▌ who forgot to count themselves. A silly but ▓▌
▓████▓▌ conscious attempt at making an electronic song ▓▌
▓████▓▌ without much fiddling which is all about the chord ▓▌
▓████▓▌ change." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 5 Hilly ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Imagine you're on a lonely boat sailing close by ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the Cornish coast at night. On the shore, in a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ field on the side of a hill you can spot a group of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ debauched individuals dancing naked round a fire. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ This is what I imagine they'd be dancing to." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 6 Twosley ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "An ingenius pun based around the fact that Twosley ▓▌
▓████▓▌ rhymes with Muesli and features similar clarinet ▓▌
▓████▓▌ styles. Although I insist on pronouncing it ▓▌
▓████▓▌ T-wos-ley. Like Bosley, the useless middleman in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Charlie's Angels. A dark tune which was a bit of a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ chance experiment in chord progression and rhythm ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and a bugger to arrange. Not really about anything, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ mind." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 7 Someone Once Told Me It Existed, But They Never ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Found It ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Now this one is a musical representation of a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ short film I imagined about a guy that dreams of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ wonderful treasure, then goes out for a walk and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ stumbles upon a treasure map, which he realises ▓▌
▓████▓▌ will guide him to his wonderful treasure (cue dream ▓▌
▓████▓▌ sequence). Then it cuts to clips of him making the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ journey on as a stowaway on an old ship, enduring ▓▌
▓████▓▌ hardships that are softened by his dreams of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ treasure. Then suddenly he's on the island and he ▓▌
▓████▓▌ spots the treasure chest. Rapture. After his ▓▌
▓████▓▌ initial excitement he notices a precariously ▓▌
▓████▓▌ balanced seabird's nest atop the treasure chest. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Being a nice guy, he can't disturb the nest so he ▓▌
▓████▓▌ just turns around and starts the journey home. It's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ all there. Listen again." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 8 Luck Shield ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "This is my favourite song on the album because it ▓▌
▓████▓▌ doesn't really sound like something I'd do. Its all ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to do with luck, everything's to do with luck. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Sometimes we all have days when it feels like we ▓▌
▓████▓▌ must have forgotten to leave our luck shields at ▓▌
▓████▓▌ home. This is the theme to one of those days." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 9 Mistaken Tourist ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "This carries on the same theme. Its about being in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the wrong place at the wrong time and not even ▓▌
▓████▓▌ knowing it. I wanted it to sound like Van Halen ▓▌
▓████▓▌ meets Cluster but my weakness for daft melody and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ whimsical instrumentation foiled me. Again." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 10 The Broads ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "I went to Mauritius and I went to Norfolk. I ▓▌
▓████▓▌ recorded stuff in both of those places and put them ▓▌
▓████▓▌ together on this track. Its about watching wildlife ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and enjoying simple things." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 11 Four Magpies ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "This is vaguely about my firstborn. It is a big ▓▌
▓████▓▌ packet of Mini Cheddars but it knows it so that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ makes it ok. It also contains cheeky references to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the 4AD records that soundtracked my youth. Its got ▓▌
▓████▓▌ it's heart on its sleeve, I like it. " ▓▌
