we have now uploaded our critically acclaimed debut album pandoras box.
this was originally released on mr c plink plonk label in 1994.
this is what the critics said;
*************************************************************************
PLINK PLONK FINALLY RELEASE THEIR FIRST ARTIST ALBUM. MEGALON HARNESS THE RAW
POWER AND URGENCY OF TECHNO AND COAT IT IN A HARD YET PLIABLE AND DURABLE
VENEER THAT CREATES A CERTAIN WARMTH AMIDST THE SOMETIMES HARSH TONES.
'PANDORA'S BOX' DOESN'T PRETEND TO HAVE ANY COMMERCIAL ASPIRATIONS, IT
SIMPLY DELVES DEEP INTO THE PSYCHE WHILE KEEPING ONE EYE ON THE
DANCEFLOOR. THE PRODUCTION IS BREATHTAKING AT TIMES AND SHOWS IT'S NOT
JUST THE GERMANS WHO KNOW HOW TO REALLY WORK THOSE STUDIO MACHINES.
MEGALON HAVE FINALLY TAKEN THE WORDS 'COLD' AND 'SOULLESS' OUT OF THE
TECHNO PHRASE BOOK AND GIVEN US AN ALBUM TO CHERISH.
BRAD BEATNIK - RECORD MIRROR.
*************************************************************************
THE MYSTERIOUS MEGALON (BUT WE KNOW WHO THEY ARE DON'T WE CHILDREN?)
FINALLY FOLLOW TRULY EXCELLENT EP'S LIKE DARKNESS (ON HERE TOO) AND
SORCEROR WITH A WHOLE EIGHT-TRACK CD. MEGALON MUSIC IS DARK, GENTLY
PUMPING, HYPNOTIC AND FATHOMLESSLY DEEP. GIVEN A WHOLE 70 MINUTES TO
STRETCH OUT IN, THE GROOVES BECOME MORE SUBTERRANEAN AND SEARCHING
WHILE SUBLIME ATMOSPHERES CREEP IN. SUPERB EARLY HOURS TROUSER! MATERIAL
FOR CLUB, COUCH OR OPIUM DEN.
KRIS NEEDS - ECHOES
KRIS NEEDS ECHOES TECHNO CHART NO 3
*************************************************************************
THIS NEW MEGALON ALBUM HAS A MUCH DARKER ATMOSPHERE THAN THE USUAL
PLINK PLONK STUFF AND SOME OF THE TRACKS ('WARLOKI' AND 'SYSTEM') ARE MUCH
MORE DETROIT INFLUENCED THAN BEFORE. 'MISSION' IS ALSO A TRACK THAT WE
TECHNO HEADS MIGHT ENJOY. THE FANS OF THE NORMAL PLINK PLONK STYLE
SHOULDN'T WORRY, THERE'S ENOUGH TRANCE-TECHNO-GARAGE FUSION TRACKS ON
THE ALBUM.
SURREAL SOUNDS - HOLLAND
*************************************************************************
HAVING MADE ALL THE RIGHT WAVES WITH A STEADY STREAM OF RELEASES SINCE
APRIL '93, INCLUDING THE SUBLIME 'SORCEROR' EP, MEGALON CONTINUE THEIR
SATELLITE JOYRIDE THROUGH THE SUBLIME AND THE SUBLIMINAL WITH THEIR DEBUT
ALBUM, 'PANDORA'S BOX'. THIS EIGHT TRACK TRIP IS TECHNO DELICIOUSLY STRIPPED
DOWN TO THE BARE BONES- SO DEEP THAT AT TIMES YOU CAN'T TOUCH THE BOTTOM,
AND FIT TO TRANCE THE BASKET OFF A COBRA. IT'S A TECHNOLOGICAL COLLATION OF
SCUTTLING BEATS, ACIDIC WOBBLES, WARBLES AND SPOOKY CHORDS. AND IT SLITHERS
ITS MERRY WAY THROUGH A JOURNEY OF TRANSCONTINENTAL PROPORTIONS WITH
SUAVE SOPHISTICATION. FROM THE BULL FROG BASSLINE OF 'MISSION' TO THE
OUTBACK-AT-DAWN AMBIENCE OF DUE-FOR-VINYL-RELEASE 'ROTATION', MEGALON
BEAT A PATH THROUGH THE SUB-CONSCIOUS HEMISPHERES IN ORDER TO DELIVER
THE GOODS. AT TIMES THE MOOD IS SO DARK, IT SMACKS OF A NIGHT TIME RAMBLE IN
A PREDATOR PACKED JUNGLE. AT OTHERS HOWEVER, MEGALON ARE WELL CAPABLE OF
INSPIRING THE SENSE OF A SKIP THROUGH AN ALPINE MEADOW - THE UP TEMPO
QUIRK OF THE RATHER INAPTLY CALLED 'DARKNESS' WOULD DRIVE EVEN JULIE
ANDREWS TO ABSTRACTION. MINIMALIST IT MAY BE, BUT THE 'BOX' SET IS TRANCEY,
DANCEY - EVEN SEXY - AND AN ENCHANTING PROMISE OF FUTURE GRANDEUR FOR
THE PLINK PLONK CREW.
