Description

These early artists created new electronic soundscapes while pursuing a stubborn D-I-Y aesthetic, often releasing material on cassette and making pioneering use of lo-fi technology, primitive drum machines and home recording techniques. As well as early electronic, no wave and post-punk artists cited as influences – Suicide, Patrick Cowley, The Normal, Martin Hannett, Laurie Anderson, Public Image – this new generation of artists demonstrate an exquisite openness to disparate and electronic influences, from Underground Resistance to Purcell, Scientist to New Beat and beyond. Most of the artists featured are based in Europe, and include Krikor from France, Beta Evers and L.F.T. from Germany, Lena Willikens, Job Sifre and De Ambassade from The Netherlands, Toulouse Low Trax from Germany, Dave I.D. and Broken English Club from the UK, and V.C.V.S from Georgia.
