Tony Visconti Lecture RBMA 2011

An unreleased mix of an old track from the 90s, though I restructured a lot of it because some of those old sounds were too thin.  A fun track so I thought I chuck it up on my neglected SC account.

Robot John - Throwback

Robot John - Throwback Mix

This is another track which came out of my archival DAT tapes, from which I offered a bunch to SLEEPERS records and they went out on Recovered Artifacts ( https://www.sleepersrecords.com/product-page/steve-angstrom-recovered-artifacts-93-97)

This track didn't make it as it was quite mangled, I've rebuilt it here from parts. It's fun to jam and I'm going to find a way to play it live.

David Holmes is one of the initial, great, electronic artists hailing from Belfast. This 1993 Essential Mix is an abstract of his varied sound palate and the peak time cuts expected at his co-run, infamous, Sugar Sweet parties. We love!

DAVID HOLMES [Belfast] ESSENTIAL MIX 1993

Your Theme

Live recording from Recovered Artefacts '93 - '97 launch party, Ohm Club Berlin.

In 1988 Steve Angstrom founded TimeShard, noted as innovators in the UK electronic dance underground during the 'second summer of love' in 1989. 
Steve's band became known as one of the UK's first live 'acid house' acts, and during this time they developed a sound which became known as Psychedelic trance although at the time they described it as "Shamanic Trance" . A name derived from their interest in using the music, and the trance in a more directed and "magical" way than their peers.

Timeshard's music found success UK's free-festival circuit, which was in a period of transition and fusion as acid house fans found a place to dance without restriction, outside mainstream club culture. Steve and TimeShard built a devoted following among the mixture of punks and Acid House followers which flocked to Britain's free festivals fields during this period.

Gradually, their live show expanded outwards and across Europe, while their sound gained elements of ethno-techno, trance and dub. Timeshard also gained attention for their self-released, cassette-only albums, Who Pilots the Flying Saucers in 1991 and Hyperborean Dome Temples of Apollo the following year. In 1994, Planet Dog signed the group and released Crystal Oscillations and the trio's second full album, Hunab Ku, appeared in 1996. 

Touring and performing constantly from 1989 to 2001 Steve moved away from live performance, but now is back after digging through his vaults and discovering hidden treasures, his unreleased works which were recorded in snatched moments but never released. 
Recovered Artefacts '93 – 97, soon on Sleepers Records.

QUOTES
“Absolutely gear if you ask me! I’ve got their cassettes in my car which I listen to an awful lot”
John Peel – April 1994 

"Steve's music is put together with wit and skill, it betrays Liverpool's long obsession with psychedelic music uprooted and planted in Techno's fertile soil" 
Ben Willmott NME 1994

"There is awe inspiring work here. It oscillates quickly, oscillates languorously, it hums thumps and purrs." 
David Bennun – Melody Maker.1994

"Steve Angstrom (sitar and Ripping Noises) is happy to act up in his on-stage habitat which resembles a science lab lifted wholesale from Doctor Who circa 1975" 
Ben Willmott NME 1996

Timeshard's ancient cassette album, sorry the quality isn't so good, one day I'll get the masters off the quarter inch and re-digitise it. However, for now, for those of you whose tapes have disintegrated, here's a version for you.

Who Pilots the flying saucers side1

the second side of Timeshard's cassette album, in reasonably terrible quality. But most people have this as a cassette that their dog chewed and all the magnetic elves fell off 10 years back. So have this one instead.

B1 		Atlantis 		
B2 		King Canary 		
B3 		Timetravel 		
B4 		Oracle

One of the founders of 90's psychedelic ambient techno pioneers TimeShard famed for their live performances through the 90s. Steve still creates weird nearly danceable music, and performs it live.
