LOR040 - Duncan Goddard Electrical Tape
A solo album from Madrid based Duncan Goddard of kosmische trio Radio Massace International. Focussing of the unique timbres of the Mellotron - a sound which possibly carries more cultural baggage than just about any other instrument outside of folk music, Goddard's album is a long deep trip into textures which may initially appear familiar, but soon mutate into something simultaneously troubling and mesmeric.
Available as a download and accompanying 11 page PDF booklet featuring notes by Richard Sanderson and photographs by Duncan Goddard, and as a numbered, limited edition CDR with a laminated piece of genuine Mellotron tape.
