Exquisitely simple, yet enormously complex, the egg is one of nature's marvels.
It is one of the most nutrient dense of foods yet one of the most inexpensive
food sources of complete protein available on the planet earth. What then
should we expect from an egg that hasn't come from earth but from outer space?
Science fiction has attempted to fathom this question in numerous ways over the
years, with often absurd and ridiculous results! In truth it has taken a man
from Stafford to realize the true nature of the cosmic egg, and indeed look
further than it's perfect mottled surface, into the abyss that we cannot name,
but can in fact listen to...
That man is Andy Meecham, a stalwart of sonic mongering that has travelled a
long and deviant road through numerous musical incarnations to get to this
point. From the childlike innocence of Bizarre Inc, to the adolescent fury of
Chicken Lips, Meecham has passed through these guises and arrived, fully formed
at last, as The Emperor Machine. Previous albums "Aimee Tallulah Is Hypnotised"
(2004) and "Vertical Tones And Horizontal Noise" (2006), as well as more than a
dozen singles and countless remixes (from Mark Ronson to Moby, Daft Punk to
Franz Ferdinand) have helped refine and smooth his imperial vision, not to
mention the numerous live shows all over the world since the inception of the
live Emperor Machine last summer. All of this has lead to this moment, his
third full-length album, which shall henceforth be known as "Space Beyond The
Egg".
The Egg itself can be split into many parts. From album opener "The Frontist" -
pregnant with menacing funk, to the droopy and lead-footed disco of "Hairy
Knuckle"; the mantric swing of "Kananana" with its lethal vocal hook, to the
strange amniotic cascades of "Silvercape", not to mention the lurking deviant
that is "Dave Gent" or the afro-cosmic reverie of "You Clapper". Attempting to
describe these tracks in words is, of course, academic and irrelevant when
compared with the actual listening experience. Put quite simply, this is music
for your insides that will help turn you inside out. This is the sound of the
dream of whatever it is that lies inside the egg: its' near perfect conception
of the space beyond. Enter that space with the help of The Emperor Machine...
