Two Lone Swordsmen - Wrong Meeting [2007]

We like Andrew Weatherall here.

I've had the pleasure of DJing with him a few times too and I can vouch that he is indeed a first rate chap.

Of more recent times his electronica/electro/techno outfit Two Lone Swordsmen has been gradually shifting, incorporating all his other influences (Cramps, Stooges, Rock'n'Roll, Rockabilly, post-punk etc...). Their last for Warp Records, 2004's "From the Double gone Chapel" album, wasn't one of my favourites, but his next "Wrong Meeting" definitely was. It was still dark, but now contained hooks and Mr Weatherall himself handling the vocal duties. Unfortunately, I don't think it got the distribution or the push it deserved. I definitely had a struggle to get a copy ...

Those of you who know earlier Two Lone Swordsmen or even earlier Sabres of Paradise, will be surprised. But surprise is good. And if you're liking this, you really should track down "Wrong Meeting" and "Wrong Meeting 2" at you local record emporium.

Anyway, cutting the crap, here it is: Wrong Meeting
