Times when this album will serve you almost no good at all;
1. When you are trying to get loved up with your partner after a shared bottle of Asti Spumante (and mayhaps a romantic “Ferrero Rocher” chocolate morsel).
2. When your office party has gone a little flat and you want to fill the dance floor but have lost/scratched your copy of “Agadoo” and the “Birdy dance”.
3. When the latest series of “Pop idol” has finished all too soon for you and you need a fix.
4. When listening to the “Teletubbies” has left you feeling a little challenged by their complex melodic twists and unconventional song structure.
5. When you’ve just lit your latest and most favourite incense stick varietal and are about to sit (or squat) down to try realigning your karma whilst also planning that whale hugging holiday you promised yourself.
In fact if any of the above is you I don’t think I can emphasise quite how much you really really shouldn’t buy this CD. Really! Don’t buy it. You’ll hate it, I promise. Save your money! (Actually on reflection I quite like both whales and hippies so donate your saved monies to your favourite hippie whale charity). There Karma restored.
“Analog” is electronica in its purest form. Think soundtrack to “Forbidden planet”. Think Delia Derbyshire and the BBC radiophonic workshop. Think a neurologically circuit bent Brian Eno. Put “Analog” in your CD player and you have the auditory equivalent of picking up a psychotic hitchhiker.......after midnight......in the rain - compelling, scary and darkly captivating. This is an album that will conjure images for you. Live dangerously!
So will this be Carradus’ breakthrough album? No of course not. Might it be quoted as inspiration for more mainstream albums yet to be written? Well it just might.........why not be in a position to be able to say “I heard it first”?
