THE POINT IS TALENT OVER ABILITY, IDEAS OVER PROFICIENCY, ENERGY OVER COMPETENCE, ACTION, TIME, AND VISION. ADD SOME MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS TO THIS CONFUSION AND THE RESULTING MESS IS BLACK TIME - SHAMBOLIC BUT PASSIONATE, HOLLERIN' AND WAILIN' AT THE DYING OF THE RED LIGHT. IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO ZINES, BLOGS AND WEBSITES DEDICATED TO SUB-UNDERGROUND ROCK, THEN NO DOUBT YOU ARE AWARE THAT BLACK TIME HAVE BEEN GETTING FAVORABLY COMPARED TO CRIME, PUSSY GALORE, THE ELECTRIC EELS, THE CRAMPS AND THE FALL. A STRING OF HOPELESSLY LIMITED EDITION VINYL 7-INCHES AND 12-INCHES HAVE STOKED THE FIRE. THE HYPE IS JUSTIFIED IN THIS CASE, AS MIDNIGHT WORLD, THE BAND'S SECOND FULL-LENGTH, IS THE PERFECT MARRIAGE OF CHUG-A-LUG, PRIMEVAL DRUMMING, OPAQUE LAYERS OF GUITARS, NEW WAVE CINEMA REFERENCES,'60S AND '70S PUNK, LO-FI STATIC AND OVERWROUGHT VOCALS FROM FRONTMAN LEMMY CAUTION. THE BEST UK EXPORT SINCE THE COUNTRY TEASERS,

Details

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, THE GROUP'S EIGHTH FULL-LENGTH, WAS RECORDED IN OREGON - 90,000 KILOMETERS FROM THE BAND'S HOME IN LONDON - WHEN IN THE RED MADE GOOD ON A PROMISE TO FIND THE BAND A LIVE-IN STUDIO WITH AN AMENABLE ENGINEER (RICH WELLS OF PORTLAND'S SUPREME REALITY STUDIOS). FAR FROM A SANITIZED 'STUDIO RECORDING,' THE ALBUM IS AS DAMAGED AND UNPREDICTABLE AS ANY TEASERS ALBUM (ONLY WITH BETTER MICROPHONES). THE BAND'S HUMOR REMAINS AS STRANGELY CONTRADICTORY AS EVER, WITH WALLERS JUGGLING A CAST OF PERSONAE AS FAR-FLUNG AS P.G. WODEHOUSE, ICE CUBE, WINSTON CHURCHILL, AND BILL HICKS. MAKING A LIVE APPEARANCE ON THE SOUTH COAST IN MAY AS GUESTS OF MUDHONEY AT THEIR ONE DAY-AT THE FIRST WEEKEND OF THE FIRST 2006 ALL TOMORROWS PARTIES FESTIVAL. FOR FANS OF THE FALL, CHARLIE FEATHERS AND WORLD WAR II!

IS THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK A CONCEPT ALBUM ABOUT RACE, ENGLAND, AND STAR WARS, OR DID THE BAND JUST FIND SOMETHING UNWHOLESOMELY AMUSING ABOUT THE JUXTAPOSITION OF FASCISM AND INDUSTRIAL LIGHT AND MAGIC? VIA FAX, ALL FIVE MEMBERS ANSWER "DEFINITELY.!"

THE SET BEGINS WITH AN EPIC GROUP ARRANGEMENT OF JACK ROSE'S "CALAIS TO DOVER," WITH ROSE'S 12-STRING SHADOWED BY MIKE GANGLOFF'S FIDDLE, AND THE THICK DRONE OF MIKEL DIMMICK AND PAT BEST'S HARMONIUM AND SRUTIS. THE THREE-PART "BESTIO" SUITE FOLLOWS, WITH THE GROUP MOVING TO TIBETAN BOWLS AND GONGS, BUILDING UP A HUGE SHEET OF SOUND WHICH PEAKS IN A BRIEF "ENCORE" OF WILD GONG SMASHING. THIS NEW EDITION IS PACKAGED IN A GATEFOLD "ECO-WALLET" WITH COVER ART DESIGNED BY FABRIC AND FIBER-ARTIST EMILY KEOWN. WE ARE GETTING 90 COPIES ONLY.

FRENCH FILMMAKER, MUSICIAN AND LONGTIME ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE COLLABORATOR AUDREY GINESTET LENDS HER CRYSTAL VOICE TO THE ALBUM OPENER, "SHIN."
