Monochrome Echo – Moonkeeper Reckoning (Green Shell)

Following his Moonkeeper and Moonkeeper Exodus albums on Spun Out Of Control, Monochrome Echo’s Simon Little completes his sci-fi electronica trilogy for the label with latest full-length release Moonkeeper Reckoning.

With the mysterious Moonkeeper’s place among the stars disturbed by human explorers, the malevolent force follows the feeling earthlings back to their home planet – with explosive consequences. The calm before the storm, battle and aftermath are sound-tracked by Divine Comedy bassist Little’s own army of synthesizers that reflect the shifting moods of menace, attack and resolution.

Under-pinned by Little’s melodic pop sensibility, expect celestial Vangelis-inspired washes, Ryuichi Sakamoto flavoured chimes, skittish percussive effects and modular synth arpeggios combining to provide a richly atmospheric score that fleshes out their composer’s concept of other-worldly aggression.

Choose from two limited-edition, hand-numbered cassette shell colours: ‘Alien Death Ray’ (Glitter) or Soyent Green (Translucent Green), with just 100 copies of each variant available worldwide.

Featuring exclusively commissioned cover and stunning inner panel artwork by Eric Adrian Lee, a download card is included with all retail purchases. Spun Out Of Control label catalogue number: SOS 060.
