Belbury Poly - The Owl's Map
This is extraordinary, it smells like old library books and cobwebs. I can hear Bagpuss and Charlie, Darth Vader play figures and Zig Zag.
I don't know who these people are, Simon Reynolds has written about them already and there is some talk of his "hauntology" as if it is a genre newly created.
Think programmes for schools, think BBC2, library records and Delia Derbyshire. Pop beats and a heart somewhere close to Boards of Canada. I think this may well be a very special record.
A friend recommended this to me and it and another Ghost Box (the label) CD came in the post today, Eric Zann; I shall update you on that as and when.
