Lord for £39

Released in 2008 on the influential Planet Mu label, Lord for £39 is a significant entry in Neil Landstrumm's extensive discography. Known for his pioneering work in 'wonky' techno, Landstrumm here further explores the intersection of techno, grime, and dubstep. The album features a collaboration with Rustie, another key figure in the wonky scene, on the track 'Little Help From Rustie'.

The recording process for the album was heavily hardware-based, utilizing analog synths and drum machines to create its signature gritty, textured sound. This approach gives the music a human, almost live feel, with rhythms that often feel like they're on the verge of falling apart but always manage to stay on track. Critical reception for the album was generally positive, with many praising its unique sound and Landstrumm's innovative approach to rhythm and bass. It remains a favorite among fans of experimental electronic music and a key example of the wonky techno subgenre.
