Sorcery is the ninth album for Jim Jupp, aka Belbury Poly. It grew from Jupp’s love of early to mid-80s electronic music and a rediscovery of how that music had soundtracked his childhood love of all things sci-fi and fantasy. It’s moody and melodramatic electronica rendered in bright and evocative 80s sounds. The not quite 80s tunes have Belbury Poly’s trademark earworm melodies and are ever so slightly tongue in cheek. Jupp returns to a simple line up for this album - it's a very electronic sound with fretless bass, guitars and e-bow provided by regular Belbury Poly collaborator, Christopher Budd.
