Belbury Poly – The Hidden Door
I’ve been wary of the invented musical/cultural genre named hauntology, it feels like a nostalgic trap for concrete-loving men of a certain age – says me as I sit here reading Found Objects in my bloody Delia Derbyshire t-shirt.
So despite my reservations, the idea of Ghost Box has always appealed, with the winks to radiophonia and ghostly half-remembered telly, but I’ve been disappointed to find it a bit try-too-hard and twee.
But I’ve just heard “The Hidden Door” on the Ghost Box Phantom Circuit podcast interview, and it’s fucking ace – like a theme for a shit scary kids sci-fi/detective-y TV programme where the bad guy does actually turn out to win, and a couple of the kids do actually get offed.
