Ultraviolet Overdrive by Man In Formaldehyde
CD-R
Pointy Bird Records (PBIRD CDR005)

'Ultraviolet Overdrive' is the follow-up to Man In Formaldehyde's 'Copper Sulphate Crystals'. A lot has changed. The melodic core is still there but the production trickery has been dropped in favor of stripped down, pure composition.

Meditational and intimate, "Time-lapse Flower 1" starts with solo church organ... untraditionally stripped of it's grand cathedral-filling reverberations, leaving it warmer and more fragile. It's "world weary" drone counterbalanced

by a beautiful oboe melody and shimmering vibes. And so we have the lovely mission statement for the rest of this full-length-CD-r.

Violins and pianos weep. Harps and vibes cast magic spells and time slows down to crawl.

Other high points include:
The discordant and key-less 'Time-lapse flower 2' featuring just piano and the sound of the rain that was pouring down at the time of recording.

The radiating warmth of the organ and acoustic guitar on 'Time-lapse Flower 3'.

'The Queen of England 1' with it's distorted harmonium, bizarre banjo?! and slow medieval stomp.

The intoxicating and bewildering time-signature-phasing harps and strings on 'Ultraviolet Overdrive 3'

...and the sweet and musical voice of the Pointy Bird family's new baby on the last track, Marina Serena 2'
