MARCONI UNION
'Weightless'

Since their 2003 debut ‘Under Wires and Searchlights’, Manchester’s Marconi Union have continually refined and developed a unique musical identity, that seamlessly blends elements of dub, jazz, ambience and electronic music.

“It’s an inertia of euphoria as everything seemingly stands still, every touch you create a subtle yet significant shift...As bells shimmer, they do so amongst synthesised drums, bringing the mechanical to the natural. In that sense Marconi Union create wonderful emotive music. This is music to not only relax to but music to ponder to." - Drowned in Sound

"If this is what Marconi Union intended to convey – this sense of beauty and destruction locking horns – they’ve done it with aplomb.....like an avalanche, a volcano; such striking, glorious and powerful images, both of which are capable of the most extreme devastation." The Line Of Best Fit

CD of the week – The Sunday Times ****** Perfect Pitch

“Masterfully discreet...Three albums in and Marconi Union still appear to be operating under the radar, which is fitting for an act whose music slinks stealthily but irresistibly around the listener" Uncut, *****

"Pensive and also sensitive and quietly dazzling, A Lost Connection is assured and graceful. Easy comparisons could be made with the likes of Boards Of Canada, or perhaps more accurately with Zero 7, but Marconi Union's ambient music has a distinctive and compelling atmosphere of its own. [They] find a fascinating intersection between rigour and warmth, between the functional and the sensory, between a dream world and the very real world of work. They are able to take potentially dry thematic concepts and use them to produce vivid and evocative sound." Music OMH

"The brooding soundscapes created by Richard Talbot and Jamie Crossley occupy their own space, informed by the compelling beauty of derelict urban spaces" The CMU

“Minimal, introspective, ethereal electronica… Gorgeous” The Guardian
