The Emperor Machine

The Emperor Machine is basically Andrew Meecham, with occasional vocal and guitar supplements courtesy of David Atherton and drums from Roger Johns.

Their music is reminiscent of the themes from Doctor Who, Knight Rider and Das Boot. So a talking submarine that can travel through time, or something.

The Emperor Machine – Black Ken
DC Recordings

Oh, if only Kraftwerk had made theme music for '80s TV shows, the world would be an infinitely better place. The theme for Knight Rider was obviously pretty awesome, but if Kraftwerk had been let loose upon it, what a decade it might have been.

Anyway, 'Black Ken' basically sounds just like the Knight Rider theme, with some added Kraftwerk bits. It's brilliant, but without the knowledge that the Hoff is about to drive into view in a black (talking) Pontiac Trans Am, it feels a little pointless. 3.5/5
