Sounds Like
... nothing that ever crawled out of this undeserving earth. Beautiful wholesome shining dirtiness. Combined with an instability that exists only in the mind of the creator and understood by few but with a seductive yet perverse sound that appeals to many.
The Emperor Machine was born on last day of the last century spawned from a desirous and dirty relationship between an EMS VCS3 and a Roland System 100. The lust child that was not yet the Emperor Machine was abandoned at birth and spent a solitary existence in the backwaters of a County Town, white noise and synthesizers its only source of company until a static storm called Dyer caused a power surge that ripped apart the confines of its imprisonment and unleashed it through the drainage ducts of the music sewer until it grew and mutated into a beast like entity dribbling with energy. Like the proverbial duckling that it never was the beast ground down any resistance to its vile and apparent nature and thrived on the underbelly of the industry that could not speak its name.
The Emperor Machine forced its first offering through DC Recordings and named it Aimee Tallulah is Hypnotised. It then embarked on a series called Vertical Tones and Horizontal Noise. The series, volumes I to VI, (parts V and VI currently incubating safely in an abscess of the machine soon to be released), then mutated into an album of its own with special precious offerings for those dedicated, to be released later in the year 2006. The Emperor Machine is once again smearing itself over the studio soon to unleash again in the peak of the year that will be 2007... M.D.
The Emperor Machine digital catalogue is now available on www.bleep.com/dc
