Notes

Each copy includes a two­-sided black and white postcard with liner notes by Thomas.

"1979 was a great year for making music. The punk explosion two years earlier, cleansed the palate and opened up minds to new sonic possibilities.
It was in this spirit I took to exploring electronics and set up my first little home studio. Bearing in mind this was before such luxuries as Portastudios or affordable multi-tracks, I decided sound quality was less important than experimentation and innovation, so I pressed on with the meager equipment I had.
My tabletop studio in Crouch End, North London, consisted of two cassette machines, a copycat tape echo, some FX pedals, Ring Modulator, Guitar, Bass & Wasp Synthesizer.
It was a time of my life."
Thomas Leer, February 2017

If you like Early Human League/The Future era, Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle etc..this authentically comes from the same thread and mindset.. I dare say this is essential for those collections....
