310 copies. Drenched in a frozen, hypnotic melancholy, "The Safety Machine" is a double-LP tour de force by London-based musician and producer Alex Monk. Incorporating seventies kraut-synth psychedelica, cosmic ambient drones and haunting melodies into an ambitious framework of multi-layered sonic bleakness with hints of early Brian Eno, Klaus Schultze, Robert Wyatt and Moondog, Monk creates a haunting world that's filled with loss, loneliness and ethereal beauty — staring into the abyss while the icecaps are hugging your skull…
"The Safety Machine" double-LP comes in a hand-numbered edition of 310, with a screenprinted open sleeve. Also includes MP3 download voucher.
