This seven track mini-album is a massively underrated offshoot project from Spider and Tomethy Furse from The Horrors, with typically insane synth abuse production from Barry 7 of Add n to (x).
"Spider And The Flies are the result of a freak accident in which two scientist explorers and their clockwork laboratory were sucked into a cataclysmic black hole only to emerge in a foreign universe as monstrous half-human-half-insect creatures. On their adventures they recorded these many reverberations and sonic fluctuations of the galaxy and the strange planets and life which do inhabit it. Their sound is one that mixes the basic and minimal sounds of Daniel Miller's The Normal with the weird and wonderful world of Delia Derbyshire's work with the Radiophonic Workshop and Joe Meek-produced instrumentals."
In summary, it's beautifully horrible. You will fucking love it.
