Remixes from Coil and Barry 7 of Add N to (X) manage to suggest where the music is going as well as where it’s been. Adrian Utley’s analogue synth on "Warminster 4" recalls Glynis Jones’s work at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in Maida Vale during the early 1970s, while the rolling reverberations of "The Mandrake Club" echo Tristram Cary’s soundtrack to the 1967 film version of Quatermass and the Pit, created at the Royal College of Music. Everything is darkly alive, and with VCS3 synthesizer, theremin and guitar he conjures up sinister whirring vibrations that seem to come from deep beneath the ground.
Mulholland’s visionary approach to London’s hidden spaces and uncanny secrets embraces skewed references to Sir Francis Dashwood and The Hellfire Club and old submarine yards on the Thames just upstream from Hammersmith Bridge.

The brainchild of composer Drew Mulholland, the project’s title alone twitches and seethes with enough occult and pop cult references to set the senses reeling. ReviewsThis welcome reissue of Mount Vernon Arts Lab’s 2001 album suggests that the progressively groovy Ghost Box label is now so far advanced into the future that they’re prepared to bring the past along with them.

Featuring collaboration with the late Jhon Balance of Coil, Adrian Utley of Portishead, Barry 7 of Add N to X and a variety other talented artists. This reissue of a lost classic of British electronics is a psychogeographic investigation into a world of abandoned Underground stations, Quatermass, eighteenth century secret societies and the footsore reveries of a modern Flâneur.
