Magnétophone is perhaps best known for being the French word for a simple cassette recorder. However, with this curious set, this band again proves itself to be much more avant-garde than their name would suggest.
The Man Who Ate the Man much like its predecessor takes on influences from the likes of Air, Massive Attack, Cocteau Twins and Kraftwerk. Alluring electronica, scuzzed-out feedback, throbbing bass and guitar lines, trippy rhythms, mantra-like vocals; this can be best described as a darkly sensual, irresistibly hypnotic tapestry. Certainly, there is something otherworldly, something of the night about this beast which makes this album both disturbing and entrancing to listen to.
It could be, of course, that the album veers towards schizophrenia with its constant switching of tempo and style. The first two tracks illustrate this perfectly: the brooding minimalism of "Let's Start Something New" against the pacy trip-hop of "Kel's Vintage Thought". Similarly, whilst "In the Hours After" is surprisingly approachable, "The Only Witching You'll Be Doing" is one that you stay back from with its impenetrable white noise and vocals.
In all, this is a challenging but interesting listen, a good uvre to sink one's teeth into.

Sadly, I think the last reviewer's critique of this album was a little lacking, if not misleading.
Firstly, there are some gorgeous vocals on here. The band have indeed supplied some of them (which I personally think make the grade), but they also have brought in guest vocalists King Creosote and HMS Ginafore, two absolutely beautiful voices (Just try and listen to 'A Sad Ha Ha' and tell me you're not choked up).
All the elements that made Magnetophone's first album so engaging are present, but added here are some awesome electro acoustic flourishes that really bring their music to life. Add the Breeders to the mix for a guest spot on 'Kel's Vintage Thought', and you've got a pretty diverse, rewarding listen. Give it a go.

Magnetophone are two guys whose names i don't remember, but they're mates of Spacemen 3's Sonic Boom and as such are welcome to a cuppa and some cheese and biscuits any time they're in the area. I already had Magnetophone's first album, which is a pretty good album of avante garde electronica which, although sometimes challenging, is never dull, and really quite addictive in places.
This second effort is an attempt to progress, and in the process they've lost a little of their edginess, though there's still a number of compelling moody compositions.
Where the album really does lose its way, it's invariably where they've ill-advisedly had a go at singing.
Kraftwerk got away with it because they were German, sang in computer-type voices about computers, and basically Did It First, but i'm not sure Mphone get away with it.
