 Marmaduke Duke are The Dragon and The Atmosphere, two chimeras of Portugese and Scottish extraction. Marmaduke Duke is a musical concept, an anti-band, a musical journey through the mind of one man, a place where guitars explode and tender melodies caress your ear. ‘The Magnificent Duke’ takes the idea of concept albums and stretches it into strange and wonderful new dimensions without ever being hippy-druggy-mystical iindulgence; in fact its pared-down approach and galvanized punk energy is the very antithesis of the indulgence, out-of-touch Arthurian-obsessed progressive rockers of the 70’s. Already acclaimed by Kerrang!, Classic Rock, Rock Sound and NME and pretty much everyone else who has heard it, the ambition behind this on-going project is truly staggering, a journey through the twisted minds of a few individuals who have been able to translate ideas written down in an another country some years earlier with only the aid of a few guitars. Of course as with all concept albums – from The Beatles’ Sergeant Pepper’s… to Pink Floyd’s The Wall to The Mars Volta’s Deloused In The Comatorium - the true explanation lies within the music, the concept perhaps only truly understood by its creators. The Magnificent Duke is a staggering work from a loose collection of musicians, a genuine boundary-breaker. Stylistically, it takes in hardcore, punk, prog rock, doom, electro free-from jazz, classic singer-songwriter iintrospection….and so much more besides. For once the sum is greater than the parts; the cocktail far tastier than it looks on paper. This isn’t hype or hyperbole; its hyper music – and that’s a bare fact, yo. We won’t be so crass as to use the words ‘genius’ or ‘classic’ - they’re long since redundant terms in the modern pop lexicon, over-used and worthless. Nor shall we use such regimented ideas of ‘band’ and ‘album’. This, quite simply, is music. Only in twenty years time its true power become apparent.
