Yes, this is the Broadcast forum, but somewhere between them and Plone lies Magnetophone and they are part of that Brum scene that emerged all those years ago.

The Man Who Ate The Man

Includes a guest vocal by one of my favourite artists - folkie James Yorkston and also King Creosote.

Now here's something not to be scoffed at:

Magnetophone - Lost In Edit
"When John Mark Lapham (of The Earlies and new 4AD signings The Late Cord) was introduced to Magnetophone's new album The Man Who Ate The Man, he was smitten. So much so that he offered to create his own version of the record.

Using samples taken from the completed album, an array of sonic offcuts and outtakes donated by Matt and John from Magnetophone, and one or two clever touches of his own, John Mark crafted a jewel-like 15 minute collage which serves as the perfect introduction to Magnetophone's bewitching sound world. And it's available to download from the 4AD website for free ! "

Free! Yes!
