Imitation Electric Piano

Now then -- Imitation Electric Piano is essentially (and quintessentially) Simon Johns. Simon's tale is as follows: having previously occupied the position of songwriter and (multi) instrumentalist in Clearspot (of a Duophonic Super 45s single fame), he then graduated to the role of playing of bass player on Stereolab's most recent interactive role-playing games, Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night and The First of the Microbe Hunters. It's a wild, inspired recording, and actual inspirations for Imitation Electric Piano include The Soft Machine, Yes, Big Black, old motorbikes and Michael Palin. Imagine that! The sound of Imitation Electric Piano is all of them, all ultimately captured on vinyl and CD -- with a bit of carcinogenic sweetener spread across the top for good measure.
