Lit by lanterns and bleeding
psychedelica. Both man and mouse. One shot whimsy to two tablespoons
of backlash. The Future Sounds of Yesterday is an intriguingly
victorious one-off, able to link arms like a chorus of Auld Lang
Syne and then hurl itself off stage.
Datatransmission.co.uk
A piece of music that sounds as if it should accompany the trials
and tribulations of a Balkan cowboy trapped in a space capsule
with an opera singing Nosferatu.
An intriguing and wonderful listen, these looney tunes are well
worth investing in.
Musicomh.com
A fine n' freaky debut; compositions of a bewildering but beguilingly
hybrid nature.
Uncut
Like the soundtrack to an Eastern European art house movie about
mental dissolve, this is an uneasy but eminently intriguing ride.
Brightonsource.co.uk
A kaleidoscope of sounds and influences seemingly beamed into
the speakers like some magnificent short wave radio broadcast.
This is the work of a very talented collage artist who has learned
to synthesize the musical elements of his world into a pastiche
that seems fully formed and delivered from another place and time.
The Future Sound of Yesterday indeed.
Pennyblackmusic.co.uk
An extraordinarily un-pin-downable, wibble-sound
collage; it’s really quite marvellous
- sounding very much like a spooky Marie Celeste-style merry-go-round.
Drownedinsound.com
Implosion Quintet should've been born a man-child
in 1973, a time when it was acceptable to appear on stage as a
goblin and make pretentious concept albums. Nutty and brilliant
in equal measure.
DJ Magazine
A magnificent travelogue in sound and time.
Soundsxp.com
An exciting, compelling listen that'll leave you slack-jawed in
wonder.
Music Industry Today
A vast sound universe of schizophrenic tango, sudden stoner stomps,
rough glitches, gypsy Kirmesmusik, The Lonesome Organist pt. II
and other hot-cakes.
Lodown Magazine
A rather accomplished mix of operatic folk, gentle glitch, colourful
prog flavours, easy on the ear textures, tunes and something that
could (rather lazily) be called world music experiments.
Organart.com
An album that is very much the sum of its’ parts,
that will reward and still intrigue with every listen.
17seconds.co.uk
An eclectic and exotic hybrid of bohemian jazz and electro. Kid
Loco meets Pink Floyd.
List.co.uk
From the off in ‘Jalopy Peppers’ where jazz breaks
nestle next to operatic vocals and accordion driven folk, you realise
that this won’t be a straight forward journey. A welcome
break from the dreary mundanity that often fills the tasty mailbag.
Tastyfanzine.org.uk
Wheezing accordion, howling psychedelic
rock, prog rock spaghetti western soundtrack, bullfights, Pink
Floyd and European folk. It’s
like 1960s exotica updated for a generation with miniscule attention
spans.
Financial Times
(An) absorbing, dramatic, inventive, fun
and fascinating whole. The self-deprecating Baker underplays
how cohesive and musically rich it is – a real labour of
love that never feels self-indulgent.
Yorkshire Evening Post
An unorthodox album that is very much an experimental and resourceful
piece of work, (it) splashes together a rich cornucopia of instruments
and styles into a jarring, paradoxical, inconsistent and spiky
texture of melodies that combine into a smooth-ish current of music.
