"Masterfully discreet...Three albums in and Marconi Union still appear to be operating under the radar, which is fitting for an act whose music slinks stealthily but irresistibly around the listener" - Uncut, *****

"Pensive and also sensitive and quietly dazzling, A Lost Connection is assured and graceful. Easy comparisons could be made with the likes of Boards Of Canada, or perhaps more accurately with Zero 7, but Marconi Union's ambient music has a distinctive and compelling atmosphere of its own. [They] find a fascinating intersection between rigour and warmth, between the functional and the sensory, between a dream world and the very real world of work. They are able to take potentially dry thematic concepts and use them to produce vivid and evocative sound. They are proudly independent and individual, not just in their aversion to promotion and publicity, but also in the nuances of their music" - Music OMH

"The brooding soundscapes created by Richard Talbot and Jamie Crossley occupy their own space, informed by the compelling beauty of derelict urban spaces....Issued on cd for the first time by Just Music.. one of the best labels for memorable new ambient and electronica music" - The CMU

Enigmatic and reclusive Manchester based musicians Richard Talbot and Jamie Crossley have consistently avoided publicity and rarely grant interviews. A Lost Connection, their third album, is shaped around themes of isolation and disconnection, inspired by images of withdrawal from the world, a kind of inward journey in which desolation and remoteness are key factors. It is an extraordinary record, developing the themes of social disconnection whilst bringing a Lynchian psychosis to the proceedings. There is something primal here, unusual in contemporary ambient / electronic music and despite the music's apparent stillness it's stunning 'poetic and almost classical' (Echoes) depth and accessibility always manages to take the listener on a journey.

Originally made available in digital format only, A Lost Connection has been remastered by Guy Davie and is now available for the first time on CD and also in high quality digital download format though Linn Recordings.
