meltone18 Turning to my 'favourite' track - if that choice is forced upon me, and I was torn between Snake Anima and Trophy Wives - I have for these purposes, settled on the former. Not only does it provide more than one irresistble time signature and feel, along with an engaging melody or three, but a bass line and drum syncopation 'to die for'. Favorite track: Snake Anima - vocal: Sylwia Anna Drwal.

alimakavelli Draws you in, chews you up, spits you out…if you’re looking for something to reinforce your comfortable lifestyle then this is probably not for you. High calibre music that screams quality

John Coldwell If you adore, as I do, not quite knowing what is coming next, you will love this. A genre skipping opus, that gives the impression that it is the score of an off off off Broadway show. One minute you’re in Beefheart territory, the next weird rockabilly. Favorite track: Lizard Man - bonus track DL only - vocal: Barry Adamson.

about

Threnodies and Ad hocs
“My music flows from the paintbox I've assembled over the years from Steel City rehearsals in abandoned little mester warrens to Motor City gospel studios still echoing with the soundtrack of my youth.”

Invocation
“A Blood Red Prayer’’

Threnodies
A song cycle featuring the force of naturę that is Sylwia Anna Drwal “..you shone like diamond studded sin ’’..She compels the listener ‘listen!‘

Ad hocs
A prosaic Ulyssean voyage through the influences that shaped iconoclast Adi Newton, “Future Cartography” is framed in four movements by a reimagined Clock DVA frequented by the ghosts of Joseph Holbrooke and Bernard Herrmann.

“Far From God’’ Pete Hope formally of The Box portrays a rite of passage gone wrong
“ In the blackness I could feel The Angel of Death”

Stephen Mallinder’s cut up Bellman of Dystopia proclaims “Doomerati!’’ Our history predates Cabaret Voltaire and reaches back to the early soul clubs of Sheffield, The Ark and Highway 61.

“Trophy Wives’’ My payback poem gets a classic David Was narration “Take em back on the plane to the Serengeti Plain.. in a freezer bag ” I once made the pilgrimage to Detroit to work with Was ( not Was). The experience was like coming home.

The Musicians. Salute

Michael Somerset February 2024

BONUS TRACKS

Lizard Man (bonus track DL only)
Hi Fi Sci Fi Cryptozoological Monstermash featuring Barry Adamson of Magazine and Bad Seeds fame.... B Movie scream by Sylwia Anna Drwal.

Far From God - alternate version (bonus track DL only)
Unlike the John Carpenteresque electronic version on the CD this version of Far From God features a Cosmic Blues quartet behind the roughneck and thug vocals of Pete Hope. Seth Bennett double bass, Adam Fairclough drums, Dave Lewin keyboards and guitar and writer Michael Somerset tambourine and debuting tenor sax and saxello played simultaneously ala Rahsaan Roland Kirk.

Is it free jazz? Is it metal? Is it industrial? Answer: Yes. And it's all excellent. The fact that they manage to sustain interest in the lengthy final track, while playing this style of music, shows how talented these musicians are. arbitify
