In 1984 Andrew Poppy was signed to Trevor Horn's ZTT Records as an artist, composer and record producer; having previously studied with John Cage,  performed Philip Glass, made a couple of record for a hip independent European record label, and been an arranger for Matt Johnson, Psychic TV, Erasure and others.

In 2018 he continues to write, perform and record.

The press say:

“Bewitching, beautifully crafted and highly addictive.” The Wire

“Gloriously abundant in cascading cycles of notes and noises” The Guardian

"The finest products of the minimalist mentality - Reich's ‘Music for 18 Musicians’, Riley’s 
exquisitely impure undertakings, Glenn Branca's tumultuous The Ascension - rise above the cold consideration of mechanics and draws the listener into the realms of ecstasy. Cadenza is the track in question, a mesmerising feature for two pianos that rise and dip like a tea clipper in a high wind. The effect is breath-taking; it’s superb enough to make me look forward with optimism to future releases". Melody Maker
