about
This is the first track of an album called Klaus Morlock's Festival of Disappointment. Each piece of music takes us deeper into the unpleasant, faux-modernist hotel chosen by Morlock for the purpose of imparting a conceptual structure to the album. Each room contains a piece of overripe, corrosively nostalgic music, mixed in the sort of exaggerated stereo that fascinated Morlock as a child. In fact, his "inspiration" for this project are those — in our opinion — worthless hi-fi demonstration albums that were common in the early 1970s. Most of the songs are arranged around a Maestro Rhythm King, an early, non-programmable, and to our minds embarrassingly limited, drum machine.

A superb suite of music, and a great call back to Nigel Kneale’s amazingly prescient QUATERMASS. Hearing the voices of Kickalong and Kapp - opposite ends of the spectrum of reason in a crumbling world - over the ominous tones and beats of these pieces is a thrilling and atmospheric experience.

Unfair to talk about favourites so soon, but the words, then the ethereal drift of the synth then the deep bass hit of Circle of Protection are in the running for favourite Tony Walker
