Magic Bullet vs MMATT - The Electric Age (5 Years On)

from Communitas (Volume I) by Magic Bullet & Friends

/

about

After the 1996 release of “Creavolution” (MMATT CD1), Magic Moments At Twilight Time were effectively done and dusted, the future seemingly behind us. When M&E closed its doors in 2003, the band would be all but forgotten about for the next decade. But then in 2012, I started The Magic Net website, began to reconnect with old friends again, one of whom released the first digitised recordings of the band, in 2013, on a compilation called “Freedom Overflow” on his Rodent Tapes Backstage label, that was Gypsy. “Flashbax Ω Ultimate” (Klappstuhl Records, SP008), a best of the cassette years collection, followed in 2015. My enthusiasm rekindled, we decided on a 30th anniversary bash in October 2016, an online event called “Down The Rabbit Hole”, including the first new MMATT tracks in 20 years. One of those, “Variations (On A Theme By Peppa Pig)”, was not intended to be taken seriously and escapes any rework here due to the obvious copyright considerations. The theme tune to the event, however, most certainly was. It was called “The Electric Age Cometh”, a 12½ minute solo piece recorded nostalgically on a 4-track TEAC cassette deck, specially for the occasion. Five years on, Skit and I have given it the Magic Bullet treatment, tightening it up, adding some oomph, and dragged it fighting and screaming into the digital age. Ladies and gentlemen, the future is yet to come...
