Mekon - Piece of Work

Review by Kat Waplington

Mekon has managed the clever trick of staying true to his Nineties roots, whilst simultaneously sounding vital and relevant. In the mercurial ever-changing world of electro, that’s no mean feat.»

mekon, aka john gosling, has worked with some of the most influential cultural innovators of the last 25 years including genesis p orridge, goldie, marc almond, schoolly d, william orbit, afrika bambaataa and alexander mcqueen. he's also been an integral artist for the pioneering wall of sound records (royksopp, grace jones, jacques lu cont, aeroplane, the bees, i am kloot, felix da housecat et al) run by lovable eccentric music mogul, mark jones. 'piece of work' features a roll call of likeminded collaborators including schoolly d, throbbing gristle / psychic tv's peter christopherson, marco pirroni from adam and the ants, pig and more, with the album's 12 tracks ranging from electro rap, industrial techno and balearic to ambient and neo-classical.
