A Spare Tabby at the Cat's Wedding (LP Edition)
A Spare Tabby at the Cat’s Wedding (GEpH004LP) 2010 (LP Edition)
A Spare Tabby at the Cat’s Wedding is, as I have mentioned, available on Vinyl also. For me a nostalgic interest; I listened to my father’s collection on this format at an early age and with a mysterious excitement that, prior to Moon Wiring Club exposure had eluded me. The so very vivid and entirely different illustrations of this 12-inch canvas offer a wonderful but frightening enticement to what is surely the definitive expression of Confusing English Electronic Music to date.
Much like the boating holidays of my youth, the vinyl edition of A Spare Tabby at the Cat’s Wedding provides a wonderful example of Fearful Symmetry. The first track, Feline Ascension Time leaps out at you with abrupt immediacy, but then mysterious, bewildering excitement dawned upon me as I realised that, despite in some cases the same title, the music contained here is entirely different to the music of the same name that nestles upon the Compacted Disc. This, I state with utmost confidence, is a first in recorded sound, a supremely rational development within Confusing English Electronic Music, and I am out of my wits by the new shadows now created.
I am writing this exceptional prose by candlelight from within the smallest room in the house, namely the servant’s cupboard beneath the main staircase. If anyone receives this important message, let me state that I now understand that very little escapes the Moon Wiring Club, and scarcely a moment passes without their messages whispering within my mind. I have listened to both recordings of A Spare Tabby at the Cat’s Wedding and I have never heard so much life represented before. I have taken the hint. Their music must be used for every conceivable kind of occasion, for visiting relatives, to be taken on Railway journeys, as gifts, to play inside elaborate biscuit boxes ~ if royalties were paid forever they would be posthumous millionaires, for with this double masterpiece they deserve no less... a face is forming in front of my eyes and I can no longer see.
