The Dukes of Stratosphear – The Mole From the Ministry

September 25th, 2009

Bob on! Some psychedelic throwback music from 1985 -- The wonderful Dukes of Stratosphear with the immaculate ‘The Mole From the Ministry’.

Taken from the EP 25 O’Clock, musically and visually the influence of The Beatles’ ‘I Am the Walrus’ is hugely evident, right down to the slightly creepy animal masks, and it’s well worth six minutes of anybody’s time.

This is British psychedelia long after it was thought dead and buried, ticking all the right boxes and enthusiastically celebrating the weird surrealism inherent in the music of an LSD-soaked generation.

Enjoy, if you will, The Dukes of Stratosphear and ‘The Mole From the Ministry’.

    OK, I will reveal that this is XTC on a side-project, since you didn’t.
