Momus -
"Otto Spooky"
[ Released on Analog Baroque Records - ANALOG 011 CD - February 2005 ]
MOMUS SAYS:
Momus spent the spring and early summer of 2004 recording a new album in Berlin. The title is Otto Spooky and there are fifteen tracks, all new compositions. John Talaga, who 'reproduced' the 2003 album from Momus, Oskar Tennis Champion, made a series of morphs or intermezzi, disorienting links from one track to the next. The sleeve is by James Goggin of Practise.
PHESPIRIT SAYS:
The tragedy is the audience is getting bored - so begins Jesus In Furs, the outstanding track of this album. This is the now-familiar Momus mix of unparalleled imagination and invention, shrewd observation and topicality, with the blight of nudge-nudge naughty nursery rhymes. If only the latter could be plucked out and reserved for the dollar-a-download domain this would be a taut and brilliant Timelord-sized album. Imagine the undiluted genius of: 1-2-10-15-7-11-12-14.
