Despite having released twelve albums in the last eighteen years they continue to experiment and push boundaries.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e'In some respects Signals is a more traditional songwriting album than anything we've\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003edone before, but it draws on the same techniques we've used on our previous albums'\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfter their previous album, the largely beat-less Dead Air, one might think that Marconi Union would be primarily influenced by synth players or guitarists. However, it turns out that Signals was actually informed by the bands' admiration of a number of\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003edifferent drummers and this played a significant part in helping shape its sound.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e'We were quite inspired by various players like Jaki Liebezeit, Clive Deamer and Tony\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAllen and tried to imagine what our music would sound like with them playing on it.'\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSignals combines synthetic textures with organic sound, and merges the familiar with\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ethe unknown, transporting the listener deep into their imagination. The one-word title is both mysterious and evocative, suggesting a multitude of images that range from\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehigh-tech electronic messaging to ghostly abandoned radio stations and even that\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003emost basic level of human expression, body language.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt Is both ironic and yet somehow so right, that a group so regularly described as 'enigmatic' should make an album that alludes to communication. Although, long-term fans will be\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003erelieved to note that Marconi Union decline to enlighten us on what all this means.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracks:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1.
