Formed in 1969 and based in West London, the Ebony Steel Band celebrate their 50th anniversary this year. Last year they took up producer Ian Shirley’s challenge to ineterpret some classic Kraftwerk tracks on steel drums. Seminal electronic songs like The Model, Spacelab, Neon Lights, Tour De France, The Robots, Computer Love and Computer World were arranged for Ebony’s 11-piece line-up giving a proper metal on metal instrumental approach to Kraftwerk’s visionary music. Better still, Shirley got the Ebony Steel Band to take on older material like Europe Endless, Kometenmelodie 2 as well as serving up an amazing interpretation of Tanzmusik as Tanzmusik (Jump Up).

Recorded in two sessions at The Pool in Elephant and Castle in April 2018 and 2019 this LP is essential for fans of Kraftwerk, electronic music and steel bands. When it came to sleeve design, Shirley went the full ten yards hiring famed photographer Lawrence Watson (from The Smiths to Noel Gallagher) to photograph the band in Man Machine era poses for an album that is calledPan Machineas a mark of deep respect to the greatest electronic band in the world.

This record looks as good as it sounds.
