. | | Sounds Like | From a review in THE CRACK [Newcastle upon Tyne], January 2006...
"Never has a band name been more apt. And never has a band sounded less like a band. Whoever is putting this stuff together are boffins; tinkering away in the dead of night, lightening crashing around their heads [which is no doubt powering some weird analogue technology they undoubtedly possess].
"This album [JOE MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH] runs for 33 minutes and contains 17 tracks, which wibble in and out of your consciousness. they're built [created ?] from various blips and pieces, welded on bits of electronics and dislocated voices; and the odd riff from Meek's Telstar."
