Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in 1993, 'Timelord' was Momus's follow-up to the critically acclaimed 'The Philosophy of Momus.' At this point in his career, he was establishing himself as a distinctive voice in the burgeoning Shibuya-kei scene, combining elements of pop with post-punk influences. This album further explored his penchant for clever wordplay and genre-blurring sounds.
