What do you guys all think of this new "hauntology" scene?
I mean Ghostbox acts like Belbury Poly and Advisory Circle, Mordant Music, Moon Wiring Club etc?

At first I thought it was a bit facile (all the Tangerine Dreamy synths and lite-breakbeats) but I have to admit that over the last few weeks they've grown on me. The Belbury Poly album and ep are stunningly beautiful and melodic. Moon Wiring Club has some great tracks once you immerse yourself in them.
And for me they create a real atmosphere. It's not quite the same as the "Hidden Reverse" bands - but it still mixes the esoteric, magickal, english folk and experimental electronica. And they have the thing that really hooks me with Current 93, that grand myth-making from a completely eclectic mixture of arcane and personal, popular and sublime.
