Momus

Jesse turned me onto Momus' website and Livejournal page earlier. Turns out there are mp3s all over this page and they're all excellent.

I like this one quite a lot:

The Lady Of Shalott (3.6 MB, stereo, 44khz)

I like Momus quite a lot.

Here's a little blurb from the page where I found the song:

These are the demos for the Kahimi Karie mini-album 'Journey To The Centre Of Me', which appeared on Polydor KK (Japan) in April 2000.

The theme for this record is 'Kahimi goes Prog'. I have attempted to make a medieval-flavoured Prog Pop sound. My models are songs like 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Queen and 'Wuthering Heights' by Kate Bush.

The recordings were made in October 1999 with the assistance of the Dufay Collective, a medieval group who perform at Shakespeare's Globe theatre in London and play old instruments like crumhorns and sackbutts.

There's much more to Momus than I can sum up on one little page. Go have a look-see...
