> This is the sensational sophomore release on 4AD from English duo MAGNETOPHONE. The new album titled \'The Man Who Ate The Man\' sees Magntophone opening their music up to new voices, and harnessing their melodic gifts more closely though not completely to conventional song structures.
> Connections were made to the FENCE COLLECTIVE in St Andrews (home of KING CREOSOTE and HMS GINAFORE), to the new, weird America inhabited by underground troubadour PG SIX, and to the melancholy Edinburgh tenement of JAMES YORKSTON.
> These collaborations contribute much to \'The Man Who Ate The Man\'s\' rainbow richness, but it\'s the partnership at the core who deserve the credit for its wonderful coherence, its uniquely involving atmospheres and its spellbinding melodies.
> MATT HUISH SAUNDERS and JOHN HANSON have their roots in the Birmingham electronic scene, which also gave birth to BROADCAST and PLONE they ran a club night called We Brought Our Friends at which these artists regularly appeared.
> As much as possible the album is played in real time on the band\'s collection of creaky analogue synths and junkstore sound toys this is not, like so much electronic music, an exercise in millimetric digital mixology; it\'s a fluid, expressive and exultant parade of lovingly textured sound, brimming with emotional honesty.
> MAGNET \"The guitarfree I Guess Sometimes offers evidence that some of the most compelling \"rock\" music today doesn\'t come from conventional rock musicians at all\" ...
