My wife did something shocking today and bought the new Pendulum album. Bear in mind that in most of the 15+ years I’ve known her, she’s been a committed metaller / stealth goth who at various times has described dance music as “music for druggies”, “computer game music” (what’s wrong with that?) and, perplexingly, “just all about sex”. And now she’s bought the Pendulum album. I’m very confused. Is this a vindication of years of passive exposure to the best that Moving Shadow, Ram Records, Trouble On Vinyl, True Playaz, Renegade Hardware et al have to offer? Or a rebellion against it? Fucked if I know.

More shoddy electronica from my archives coming shortly, even more shoddy than the last lot, watch this space…

    Pendulum sit very well with metal/goth. It’s still guitar driven and low-down-heavy in spite of the electronic frippery.

    Be not confused.
