DRAG CITY
Date of release: Aug 30 2024
For those of you who've mislaid your history goggles, this archival release recalls an ancient time
in the world of recorded music. Yes, back in the dinosaur days of the 1990s, a creature known as
Aerial M walked the earth, before evolving into Papa M and PAJO and beyond and back. Even
then, the music of M had a next-wave vibe, walking upright among the knuckle-draggers (and
having drinks in the evening with others of its genetic detatchment). It was too much to last very
long, of course - but some things end up lasting forever, don't they? Fuck! So it is today that Drag
City, an organization largely set up to bring you the best of all available M recordings, is proud to
be there for the release of the only Aerial M session ever recorded for John Peel's BBC Radio One
show, as it was originally recorded on 3rd March 1998 and broadcast on 2nd April of the same year.
The studio versions of these songs, which appear on Aerial M's self-titled album (DC114) and
Papa M's Hole of Burning Alms comp (DC231), were played by "M" himself (now revealed to
be David Pajo!), which makes this album a rare alternative view of the canonical M, played by an
actual Aerial M band who, all too briefly, embodied the sound for a year or so before Papa brought
a brand new bag.
This Session found them fortuitously roadburned from several weeks in the European Theatre. So
much the better for our archival ears, as OG-M's signature minimalist long-fuse sizzle is thrillingly
intact here; in fact, even more so, as the tunes are jammed out past the studio versions' originally
delineated borders, reaching rudely across the table in moments of liveness that the studio-bound
project might have decided against when conferring only with the walls.
For fans of their epic version of "Turn Turn Turn," this is more sweetmeats from that raucous
old skull - but if you've not been down this road before, be prepared: the taste will set you slowly
aflame. And then, before you know it, the band is dined and dash
