    The animation 'Infernal Machines' is evocative of 1927's 'Metropolis' or Chaplin's 'Modern Times' factory sequence and 'You'll never Work In This Town' animation and music is like something from a sixties crime caper movie. All totally brilliantly put together.

    Someone mentioned Depeche but there’s also some yello in here somewhere. One of my favourite things about the Divine is the madness. You can’t beat talented madness.

    Neil perfectly evokes the mood required: here 1. Quietly but relentlessly menacing 2. Whistful/remiscent of sound from a time passed. Hope we hear these at the gig next week. 👍

      It's just him! Just the great Neil Hannon :) his work is the perfect mix of humour (Queuejumper) and witty but deep lyrics (this song). Plus Ive rarely seen a project with so many elements of different genres (baroque pop, bossa nova, rock, jazz). This bloke is truly good.

    what a great album! eclectic, quirky and smart! you may not like all of it but definitely come to appreciate it more over the time, as it's great hypnotic whirl takes you in for a ride through songs like this (infernal machines) and then "norman and norma" or "when the working day is done" or "amazon pirates" and "parley"

    Holy fuckstick! This music is obscenely delicious. I've been revisiting The League of Gentlemen ( and Psychoville) and realising how much the soundtracks grab me....only by chance did I read a comment here on YT by someone mentioning Joby was in a band known as 'The Divine Comedy' ( fantastic name) which led me here. How late to the party I am.. O.o . Still a bloody good party, though.

      Yes...DOORS!!!....i always asked myself: "Where dit i heard that kind of music?" Your right, it sounds a bit of the Doors. But on the other hand, its not dark enough for the Doors.
      Definetly it's an "american 60's, playing as a british soap, special brasilian, swing, thing".
