The career of Christine Newby, recording under her Mozart-derived pseudonym Cosey Fanni Tutti, has rarely been anything other than compelling. Yet it is only in recent years that the artist, in her 70s and with a 40-year career in music already established, has had anything approaching full creative respect and freedom.
Having helped in the acknowledgement of pioneers such as Delia Derbyshire through The Myths and the Legendary Tapes soundtrack and the Re-Sisters book, Newby has deservedly received acclaim for Cosey Fanni Tutti – with a biopic from Andrew Hulme still to come. Yet it says much for 2t2, her first artist album in five years, that it would register strongly on the electronica wants list if it was a debut album.
