Witch Culture on the BBC

Remember my post about The Eccentronic Research Council? Well, there was a creepy feature on them on last week's Halloween Culture Show which is still available for a couple more days.

You can watch the full show here >> [available until 2:39AM Fri, 9 Nov 2012]


And in case you're too late and it's not yet been re-posted to youtube by some form of analogue-to-digital witchcraft, there is an edited highlights clip of the feature here >>

meanwhile, back in 1612...

We're getting a little damp in the crotch about this new record by The Eccentronic Research Council, a brave high-concept  album/long-form electronic sound poem, based around the events of the Pendle Witch Trials of August 1612, and performed by electronic musician-producers Adrian Flanagan and Dean Honer with actress Maxine Peake.

There is a free mp3 (or mpfree) of an early demo Her Kind Wicked Sister available via the ERC Tumblr site. Which proves that you can be high-concept, experimental and pop all at the same time: It's ace, like Shostakovich gone analogue-pop, with a gritty monologue from a paganistic kitchen-sink melodrama,  and a rabble of chanting black-magic kids dancing sing-song circles round and round and round.
