about

Future Conditional is an electro-pop project from ex-Piano Magic mainstays Glen Johnson and Cédric Pin.

Drawing inspiration from classic analog synth-pop by the likes of New Order, Kraftwerk, OMD and Section 25, the album updates the retro-futurist mix with a stellar selection of guest vocalists, including Melanie Pain (Nouvelle Vague), Bobby Wratten (Field Mice/Trembling Blue Stars), Angèle David-Guillou (Klima/Piano Magic), Carolyn Allen (The Wake) and Dan Matz (Windsor for the Derby). The 10-track album was produced by Glen and Cédric in 2006.

"Future Conditional isn't just an exercise in nostalgia. We are, in some way paying homage to the groups we love and inspire us, but we're also experimenting with the glacial electro/human emotional interface. The future is a robot with a human heart" (Glen Johnson)

'We Don't Just Disappear' was originally released by LTM Recordings in 2007.

Reviews :

"One of the most beautiful electropop records in a long time" (Magic, 05/2007)

"Points a curious but sympathetic nose towards a previous electronic age, providing often minimalist, melancholic music and droll references, often reminiscent of Kraftwerk, New Order, Orbital, Royksopp and even The Smiths. The album features a raft of guest vocalists, and collaborations seldom work as well as this" (PopNews, 06/2007)

"Very few of those making vintage electro right now actually manage to come off sounding convincing, but Future Conditional nail the sound. Far from being an exercise in style over content, Johnson and Pin have written songs that sound memorable and really rather sweet. Enjoyable retro electro fun that works marvellously" (Boomkat, 03/2007)

"Sombre, analogue equilibrium - a vision of a future inhabited by emotive machines, somewhere between 'future conditional' and 'future anterior'. The multiplicity of guest vocalists sound completely at home" (Autres Directions, 5/2007)

"Glen Johnson's usual band of collaborators are joined by an exceptional array of guest vocalists for this new venture into techno-pop and glitch electronica. Accessible, danceable, and only sometimes melancholic (Mondo Sonoro, 05/2007)

"Another fine album. Not really a huge departure from the Piano Magic sound, and Johnson and Co can always be relied upon to deliver" (Leonard's Lair, 06/2007)
