Born from a collaborative concert at Café OTO in May 2024, The Man Who Never Was brings together leading artists from experimental labels Fourth Dimension and Lumberton Trading Company. Inspired by a 1950s science fiction film, this compilation creates a shifting and unclassifiable soundscape, true to the radical spirit of these two labels. It features performances by Alternative TV, Splintered, Edward Ka-Spel, and Bass Communion, alongside unreleased contributions from Nick Mott, Sion Orgon, Theme, Final, Ashtray Navigations, Band of Pain, Senestra, and Kleistwahr.
