Sara's Tune / A Tune For Lucy
* 250 copies * What a classic pair! "Sara's Tune" and "Tune For Lucy" were both commissioned as holding cues for the BBC's Schools And Colleges Broadcasts from the mid 1970s to the 1980s. Anyone in the UK who sat in front of a TV at school waiting for their 30 minute educational show about childbirth or maths would have sat through this music while the BBC "Diamond" pattern ate itself before the actual educational show started. "Sara" was used for junior schools broadcasts, "Lucy" for Senior sch…

Belgian new wave & DIY minimal synth duo that started out experimenting with a rhythm box and post-punk guitars in the vein of early Cabaret Voltaire. Rudolf Hecke explains the origin of the band: “By the end of the seventies we were both living in small towns near Leuven. I had been playing in bands since 1973 and was still living with my parents in Veltem-Beisem where the garage was my rehearsal-room. One day he showed up, he was looking for a songwriter, he’d be the singer. He rode a bike.”Th…
Minus Modum
"Once again Gerard uses his guitar, low-key electronics, his own voice, and inanimate objects in the creation of a five-part work, this time using Greek letters to identify the separate parts of the structure. He also uses a lot of silence, as usual, and one has to strain quite hard to make out any perceptible markings on this blank stretch of time. Actually what may appear to be pure silence actually contains a very subtle and washed-out drone of some sort, produced by means we know not – it’s …

Fabric Cordial
Bud Petal is the stage name of musician Eran Asoulin. His music has been described as ‘cerebral art-folk’ & ‘the music Lord Byron would be making had he lived in the 21st century’. Bud is a true outsider, a freak-folk wunderkind who has been compared to Syd Barret & Daniel Johnston. But don’t for a minute think him primitive or naive - Bud is worldly & word-wise beyond his years. He was ‘discovered’ when his self-produced first album was pulled from the trash at a local radio station. A self-tau…
