CMU Approved

Approved: Wrongtom – Old Ghosts

By | Published on Tuesday 19 January 2010

We reported on this free download album last month, but after we broke up for the holidays the release date slipped. As a result, it only went up on net label Myuzyk’s website yesterday, so we thought it was worth drawing your attention to it again, because it’s really something worth having on your computer-based record player.

‘Old Ghosts’ is a compilation of tracks recorded between 1999 and 2004, most of which were never released, and some of which weren’t really intended for release. But released they have been, and you’ll be pleased to know that Tom’s cast offs and experimentations are better than many manage to come up with when they’re really trying.

‘Behind You’, which features vocals from Sarah Wayne and a heavy electro bassline, is a particular highlight, but elsewhere you’ll find a variety of other delights, from instrumental hip hop to free jazz and a sort of raga, which, says Tom, features “the unlikely sounding combination of me on tablas and Steve Kemp from Hard-Fi on drums”.
