In terms of Emeralds making solo records, John Elliott’s Outer Space is the Big Talk to Mark McGuire’s Flamingo. He starts off by lulling you in with the lazer-guided melodies of “Vanishing Act,” then spits you out into 24 minutes of grinding musique concrète of “Liquid System Functions,” a great iPod soundtrack if you’re ever called upon to bury the bodies of child soldiers.
