- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
This was released last month, and sold out before I even listed it on the
damn mailing list! The original edition was in a 12" card package, this one
is a shrunken down version printed on parchment paper featuring the same
creepy artwork by David Payne of Fossils. Edition of 140. 'Mechanical
Children is Sarah Sullivan and Ben "The Touch" Jones ( two thirds of the
legendary Jazzfinger ) and this is their debut album. Utilizing two knackered
old drum machines ( though you'd never know it ) the duo take the listener on
a molten ramble through a scrapyard of silver ghosts. The pacing and unspoken
rythms of the thing are, not surprisingly, in keeping with much of the
'Finger back-catalogue, but this is a bolder, starker affair, more straight
lines, black light, none of that fog, that rusting mist, no, no, no, this is
more akin to the drawn-out sex-moan of a dilapidated robot-king. It's bloody
awesome, and quite bonkers. Comes in an LP-sized, hand-made card sleeve, and
it's of course hideously limited' - Richard Dawson aka Eyeballs.
