Delicate Creatures by Rancid Poultry

Rancid Poultry
DELICATE CREATURES (Own label) MC

An odd name for an odd band. These "decomposing chickens" are quite an inventive trio, playing a mixture of rhythmically aggressive and atmospheric electronic music that doesn't conform to the usual strict rules.
Their influences are often quite obvious - Heldon, Kingdom Come (JOURNEY) and early Hawkwind to name but three. Undoubtedly, my favourite cut is Beneath The Dead Sun, a long majestic work with a strangely contorted vocal sound, swathed with shimmering effects and drones that, after the introduction of a rhythm, builds up slowly like a restrained bolero - never climaxing - as to do so would ruin the feel of the whole piece. I must also make a point about the excellent Mellotron sections, one of my all-time favourite instruments - but, surprise surprise, I'm informed by one member that they haven't got a Mellotron, and they in fact sampled it from Jasun Martz's classic THE PILLORY, well - I suppose that's the next best thing...
