The largely instrumental Martian Chronicles finds the avant-rock collective
Telegraph covering a wide swath of ground in 49 minutes. Its most
experimental piece, the lengthy opener "Burning Witches,"
mixes electric guitar riffing, banging drums, theater organ, and the
sound of a stylus scratching across vinyl (not in the hip-hop sense).
That's followed immediately by "Here Come the Bugs," a straightforward
exercise in pretty-female-vocalized modern rock. From there, the outfit
dabbles in wordless soundscapes largely influenced by Another Green
World-era Eno and Kraftwerk's more atmospheric moments. --Rickey Wright
