Thanet AKA Mr. Maxted washes up ohm the Kentish shores with a clipper full of exotic audio tea chests - date & origin unknown...when did he first set psychic sail?..the tidal flow is unpredictable and the wash intensely saline...receiving calls from where?..BT cut him off years ago...here he rests then - a faceless beachcomber with barnacled talons fused to the keys in a sunken village with a foaming anchorage and MIDI scurvy...cut adrift, adrift cut...BM

Ekoplekz
February 2011
Estimable Bristolian Ekoplekz is patently half-man, half-pedal...he dredges the Severn for sunken Russian synths at ebb-tide & sports questing lapels...plumes of his teased notes tumble from the dead pipes of nearby Fountain Square instead of water...MM proudly presents 33 EZ emissions on 2xC60s housed in a Barratt home of a box...therein lies a dearth of superlative & previously unheard electronic dialect devoid of software poisoning...these twitching asps have been sluiced thru labyrinthine jack relays for your Le Mesurier...radiography distilled...I believe it may actually be possible to imbibe this sound, such is its potent form...BM

Tower - ExhuMMed
12" whinyl
June 2008
Lord Klattr & Baron Mordant smelt their previously imagined concrete forest dystopia on this final installment of 'The Tower' series into four gelatin club hoofprints...culled from the MeMbranous fibres of the two previous albums, parts I-XVIII have been dug up from respective hard drives and smothered in low-end alchemy...from its original inception 'The Tower' project has lived somewhat of a 'black metal' lie insomuch that the music had been produced by two questing Liverpool & Derby fans who peddled secondhand vinyl at the Music & Video Exchanges in cut-price TK Maxx trainers...the cover image was not some dank Bavarian castle but a former water tower in Stoke Newington now used for poncing & climbing - hardly the stuff of a blazing Fantoft...these four final death throes emanate musically from somewhere closer to home and dovetail the intended continuity to rest...the trajectory was always distorted...Lord Klattr (Alan James) has sensibly retired to Melbourne in his 'Subway' (Soul Jazz) guise and Baron Mordant whiles away the hours feebly convincing himself of Mordant Music's relevance in today's digital realm or indeed any other...buy this hollow vessel, daub corpse paint on a passer-by and join them for the last spannered waltz in 'The Tower' - ever...BM

Mordant Music present a chronological coMpendiuM comprising all the Shackleton-related releases, a clutch of previously disabled titles including his voluble 'El Din (part two)' & MM's 'Marston Moor', aswell as the recent etched 10" 'The Hauntological Song' ...this sullied selection bookends a swill of Shackleton activity that coMMenced with his deft inaugural 'Stalker' 7" right through to the signature bass morass of the dual mix of Vindicatrix's 'Private Places' with MM...Shackleton cut his dubplate teeth at Mordant Music and subsequently gnashed his way through the low-end arena with Skull Disco and a myriad swollen live shows...he's also prone to losing the odd pushbike...Baron Mordant, who occasionally falls from the loft, has come off the bench once in a while to duel with Shackleton's rattle...tracks like 'Olde Wobbly' & 'Hummdrumm' have pursued a convex path that has attempted to draw ears away from a sometimes suffocating MMailer...win or lose MM never lose...a bludgeoning fanfare goes out to Sam for remaining Shackleton o'er the years and providing the bones... Mordant Music would also like to thank Skull Disco quill Zeke Clough for spewing up all o'er the MM logo and all the balmy spores who continue to dig deep...apprecii...finished copies are in the Nesst and available to order ...the cd & download are also steeped in brine at Boomkat & Bleep...BM.

August 2008 'Lives & Privacy (94-89)' brings together nine archive minimal synth tracks from the vaults of Roehampton's feral analog spectre Mr Maxted...residing somewhere in the sullied vein of early Portion Control/Severed Heads, these late eighties/early nineties tape emissions have only just seen the light of day...the deft lilting lines of 'Consequence' and 'People I Know' really hit the spot here in the Nesst and that's why MM decided to spank the vinyl Jodrell again...this album is full of depth, mood and mirth and we urge you to snap the fucker up before Scandinavia gets wind of it...
