Last time anyone checked Michael Chapman was a forgotten Seventies songwriter, but American revisionists, citing his guitar instrumentals, have found a lost folk-blues primitivist in the John Fahey vein. Nothing in the Yorkshire troubadour’s catalogue presaged these two lengthy electric guitar drones, buoyed on throbbing loops, and serrated with scratchy noise, the first a low end rumble, the second a high end Himalayan temple bell tingle.
The kids get a new cult figure to restock the depleting stock, and grand-dad gets to play loud and tour with noisy new-boy Dean McPhee. Everybody’s happy.
