DX Marks The Spot


Newly out on vinyl is this four track ep from Timothy J Fairplay called DX Marks The Spot. The title track rides in on a massive kick drum and some bass that will cause your speakers to vibrate before one of those trademark spooky, science fiction synth top lines comes in.



Tim does song titles better than most- here's a new ocontender for 2018- Phantom Guard Dogs Of Chomolungma. It sounds like a lost track from the Escape From New York soundtrack, circling synthesiser riffs and 80s drum track, melodies which get inside your head and stick there.

A track with a title like 'Phantom Guard Dogs Of Chomolungma' feels like it should have been lifted from a 1976 Tangerine Dream LP. It's musically not a million miles away either.

It's a good point Swede. I found a copy of Phaedra, original 1974 issue in perfect nick, recently for under a tenner and have been enjoying it.
