The following has been listed at Ebay: Magnetophone ? Temporary Lid Static Caravan IDM http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=914706238 This auction is for a long out of print MAGNETOPHONE ? TEMPORARY LID original 12? from Static Caravan Records dated 1998. The record is in near-mint to mint condition and is limited to 1515 copies! Includes a paper insert as well. The jacket is in excellent shape as well. I do not believe you will find another copy in as excellent of shape as this has been in storage for all these years. Magn?tophone are MATT SAUNDERS and JOHN HANSON, and they both play keyboards, of sorts. This duo from Birmingham, England make electronic music with old synthesizers, lots of effects pedals stapled to a big wooden board, and their fingers crossed. TEMPORARY LID is the first 12? from the (up till now) 7? only Static Caravan label. The insert offers very little information except ?Please take time to play this loud?. There are two songs on each side of this release. The first track ?Frankholmes' Drive? sounds like it has two-time threads running through it. There is the droning Carnival of Souls organ, then the technology driven racing on top of it, giving it an unsettling effect. The second track ?Double Leopard? sounds like reading a book in a laundromat, with the single continuous tone of (maybe an exhaust fan?) in the background. On the B-side, the first track is ?Temporary Lid?, which continues the dual time toyed with on the first song on the first side. The organ (I guess it's an organ-like synth) plays a pastoral tune while the over-time hypes out like a relaxed APHEX TWIN. The final song, ?I?m In Control Here? gets it name (I presume) from the Outer Limits-like taking over of the song by a new thread as if your record player was hijacked mid-song, and at the end as well. Frankholmes? Drive; Double Leopard; Temporary Lid; I?m In Control Here. Static Caravan Records 1998 (vansix) 12? Limited edition 1515.
