dw robertson: disco carousel vol 1

The artist formerly known as Ergo Phizmiz, releases his first work under his birth name, DW Robertson with Disco Carousel Vol. 1, a demented ode to the power of mechanical music. Robertson on the record: ''Everybody knows that mechanical music is the highest form of entertainment, that's why the fairground, that age old uber-entertainment, rang with the chaotic splendor of Barrel Organs, Orchestrions, Bellenoens and Serinettes. In the 20th century, as the delicate mechanisms of automata fell out of favor to the machismo of electricity, all the music-boxes left the funfair, to be usurped by Euro-techno. Disco Carousel is an attempt to redress this balance with a little bit of time travel, a little bit of TLC, and atomic fusion between the discreet windings of the Pianola and the whirring innards of the computing-machine.''
