Formula, Dave/Christine Hanson - The Organ of Corti
SKU
Still OCD 015
Some of you oldsters will remember the very great arty punk band Magazine from the late 70s/early 80s. Dave Formula was their keyboardist and I would be lying if I said I have carefully followed his career, but we ran across this and it's a fine, atmospheric album featuring Dave on keyboards, voices, electronics, Christine Hanson-cello, strings, vocals, electronics. Also appearing are a variety of musicians on double bass, drums, guitars, trumpet and voice (Howard Devoto!). At times the organ sounds resemble Larry Young in the quietest parts of Lifetime, and you know that's a good thing. This doesn't sound a bit like David Sylvian's 80s/90s work, but if you like that, it seems like a sure bet that you'll like this. Recommended.
