Hah, I’ve just discovered where your Head Technician image comes from… It’s from an old children’s knowledge annual with an article on the Post Office’s ‘Mail Rail’ system – this is the Mount Pleasant Control Room shot from that article. Nice!
Good work, by the way – I’ve read comparisons to The Advisory Circle and BoC. Strangely though, noone – after listening to the Black Mill Tapes – has suggested early 1980s Mark Shreeve as a comparison… esp for tracks with that retro electro-snare beat like ‘Electronic Rhythm Number Four’. That one especially would fit right in on the ‘Assassin’ album.
‘Black Mill Tapes-volumes 3 & 4’ LP : what a great… soundtrack ! If it was a movie, it would be Blade Runner-like I think. Or Philip K. Dick meets John Carpenter.
Great site and cool ideas. Right up my street. Cheers!
Jim

GREAT album. Love it. Thanks!
just found out Touch are selling your experimental cassette… One of my favourite organisations much kudos!
Is this going to be on Bandcamp as MP3s also?
Thought this might amuse you…

Thanks! It echoes a lot of my feeling regarding analogue methods.
