2009 release, the third album from the British Psychedelic Electro act. Andy Meecham has travelled a long and deviant road through numerous musical incarnations to get to this point. From the childlike innocence of Bizarre Inc, to the adolescent fury of Chicken Lips, Meecham has passed through these guises and arrived, fully formed at last, as The Emperor Machine. Attempting to describe these tracks in words is, of course, academic and irrelevant when compared with the actual listening experience. Put quite simply, this is music for your insides that will help turn you inside out. This is the sound of the dream of whatever it is that lies inside the egg: it's near perfect conception of the space beyond. DC.
Take the backing theme music from 70's Dr. Who episodes or any 70's movie dealing with the occult, add a disco house drum beat, throw in a little electro buzzing for good measure, and you'll have the spacey disco sounds of The Emperor Machine. Most of his recent work has been in this genre and he has now released his 3rd artist album, and I feel it's his strongest to date. A little more electro house than his previous albums, but always retaining those dark, classic synths. If you like this, then also check out The Strange New World of Bernard Fevre by Black Devil Disco Club and Night Must Fall by Padded Cell. A digital only remix album has also been released for Space Beyond the Egg titled the Embryo versions, with variations of songs found here, and a few new ones.
