So I thought I’d start off my first RA musical treat o’ the day with a group that’s relatively unknown but shouldn’t be. The fact that Andy Meecham is one of the men behind house legends Chicken Lips is reason enough to check out The Emperor Machine. A devotee of Can and collector of vintage synthesizers, The Emperor Machine are reminiscent of Stereolab with their shared love of recent past musical styles, technologies, and graphic design. The Machine’s third and most recent release, Space Beyond the Egg, is by far the most accessible release to date (there’s even the odd vocal thrown into the usually pure instrumental stew). Who knows, now that Meecham has found friends to play with live, perhaps we in North America can witness the Emperor’s spell in person some day.
