Below is general info from the FdM website
'...could easily be a great lost UK underground classic..."
...so says Nick Leese from Heyday Mail Order!FdM fans will already know and love Cranium Pie for their single 'Baby, You're A Rch Man', their version of Brainticket's 'Blacksand' on 'Roqueting' and for their new-material single on Bracken. For some bizarre reason, Rob and the band agreed to let us release their first LP - and we are mightily chuffed. It's called 'Mechanisms', it went on sale on September 5th and it sold out immediately 'Mechanisms' is a concept album, i asked Rob what the concept is/was, and he said, "From the radioactive dust of a post apocalyptic mecha-tyranny, simple lifeforms strive to fulfill the wishes of 'the blinking eye', and create the ultimate homunculus, destined to fight for the right of the organisms", but Rob's not been well lately; basically, it tells the story of a war between robots and crayfish (we're supporting vthe crayfish). What's more, this is only the first part of the fishy saga. I've been listening to the album on repeat i think anyone who likes classic prog bands such as Nektar and Caravan will just love it. I can also hear 70's Pink Floyd in there, maybe King Crimson, The Nice, Triumvirat, even early Orb! The band say their influences include Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix, the Canterbury sound, 60s/70s psychedelia and progressive rock in general - but only Cranium Pie could pull it all together and create their own sound.
