analog013cd Released 24/11/08. Joemus is a collaboration between veteran Scottish "electronic vaudevillian" Momus and Glasgow breakcore whizzkid Joe Howe (Gay Against You, Germlin, Ben Butler and Mousepad). Joemus is the 18th studio album from Momus, who's been releasing albums on British indie labels like 4AD, Creation, Setanta and Cherry Red since the early 1980s, to widespread critical acclaim. Joe and Momus first collaborated on a cover of David Bowie's Ashes to Ashes in 2007 for a vinyl-only box set compilation called Recovery. Momus calls the style they've achieved on the Joemus album "Nintendo Glam Rock". Joemus contains cover versions of songs by Cliff Richard and Ryuichi Sakamoto. It alternates between blippy breakneck breakcore and melodramatic-yet-absurd 1950s-style ballads. The album has a strong theme of comic horror: Dracula can't muster the lust to bite a victim (a vocal cameo by Kyoka Kyoka, a Japanese laptop noise musician), Ichabod Crane becomes a "pumpkin brain" over music pastiching Manchester post-punk, and a Tony Newley-type crooner is carried off his music hall stage in a coffin.

analog012cd Legendary singer/songwriter Momus returns with his brand new album 'Ocky Milk' (ANALOG012CD). Ocky now takes its place as the third record in what you could call Momus' Berlin Trilogy, a sequence of albums that began with 2003's vaudeville Modernist "Oskar Tennis Champion" and contined with 2005's "Otto Spooky" (a sort of Shinto-inspired World Music). "I'm planning my next album, The Friendly Album," Momus wrote on his blog Click Opera back in March 2005. "And I want to make something as static, as friendly, as consensual, as self-effacing, as Japan itself. It will be a feminine record and a friendly record. It will -- it should -- contain the deep sensuality of Renaissance lute music, or bossa nova. You should be able to put it on and just let it hover in the background all the way through, structuring your contentment in a self-effacing, classical, cool and elegant way. I don't know if I'm capable of making music that serene and sensual, but I want to try.

analog006cd What if computers finally began getting more Africa in them? What if folk artists started emerging who sounded more post-modern than Cornelius or Pole? What would Click Folk or Glitch Folk sound like? What would Alan Lomax have said if, in 1965, the Newport Folk Festival had been invaded by boffins and geeks playing modular Moogs? What if you could hear, today, the Country Music of the year 2049? What about the Japanese country music of 2049? What would that sound like? What if electronics had appeared in 18th Century Scotland just at the moment of the Highland Clearances? How many mountains can you fit on a Minidisc? It's what Raymond Scott, Bruce Haack or Gary Numan might have sounded like if they'd jammed their way through the back catalogue of Steeleye Span. It's Shakespeare rendered in Flash 5 by a superlucid hyperactive Japanese geek. It's those prolific medieval songwriters Trad. and Anon. finding the missing link between unicorns and Unix. It's preposterous, provocative and prescient

analog002cd A brand new album from British cult favourite and pop experimentalist Momus. This is a unique album. The story behind it goes back to Momus' "Little Red Songbook" album which contained a track about one of the pioneers of electronic music. The composer objected to the song and the result was a hefty legal fee for Momus' US label. To pay off the debt Momus decided to sell musical portraits for $1000 a song. The first 30 people whose cheques cleared became the subjects of songs on "Stars Forever". DISC ONE: Other Music / Tinnitus / 3D Corporation / Akiko Masuda / Stefano Zarelli / Minty Fresh / Jeff Koons / Milton Jacobson / Mai Noda / Robert Dye / Florence Manlik / Adam Green / Mal / Stephanie Pappas / StevenZeeland / Mika Akutsu / Miles Franklin / Paolo Ruroi / Karin Komoto DISC TWO: Rekless Records / Kokero Hirai / Indiepop List / Keigo Oyamada / Team Clarmont / Brent Busboorn / Natsuko Tayama / Girlie Action / Minus 5 / Noah Brill / Shawn Krueger / New Flame Same Old Story / Not Intended For Children / Coming On An Intern's Dress / Nicky My Friend / Mr Jones / Taste Of Pink Champagne / Onan The Barbarian / Suggestion To Jealous Men |
analog001cd Momus is one of Cherry Red's most popular artists and this album released at the end of 1998 shows just why he is considered one of the UK's most original independent songwriters.
