project moonbase

Concretism also appears on a recent podcast cobbled together by those project moonbase dudes. This edition is a ‘town and country’ special marking / celebrating the arrival / release of Vic Mars’ recent ‘the land and the garden’ full length and comes sumptuously populated by all manner of strange sounds, library take outs, lounge lilts and sonic curios. As said Mr Sharp’s ever watchful shimmer toning orbital ‘town planning’ features here sharing groove space with Belbury Poly’s acutely dinky ‘model country’ which unless our ears do deceive, except of course for the brief Elizabethan mosaic, has a kind of 70’s promenade music hall re-imagining ‘telstar’ as a rural steam engine jaunt. We mentioned curios, well none more curious here than the visitation of synthesonic sounds whose moog’d variant of ‘English country garden’ simply oozes  quaintly turned pastoral tweeness whilst the note takers among you might well be interested to hear it features ex Womble, Mike Batt, incidentally more furry litter pickers feature elsewhere for amid the line up of the Frank Ricotti Quartet there lurks a certain Chris Spedding. Vic Mars heads out the broadcast with ‘the road through the village’ – an utterly divine slice of rustic heaven which to not put to fine a point on matters tip toes with willowy wonders as though a cooing recital wherein Satie trims are tenderly teased in courtship by the dizzying demur of Nyman-esque and Debussy swirls. http://www.projectmoonbase.com/archives/8555
