'Gobsmacked' is an album created using our original demo & live recordings to digitally produce versions of our songs for 2026. This has been fun, eye-opening & 'gobsmacking' - we hope you like this 'what if?' version of our album of originals out today on Bandcamp - all proceeds to MIND
Somewhere among the 1980s post-industrial smokestacks of Leeds a small cabal of refugees from west of the Pennines created an unholy eclectic musical vision - Just Hip. 40 years on our music is now on Bandcamp - all proceeds to MIND in memory of our late keyboard player and vibesman Zbig Ucinek.
Since releasing the 'Dreams and Delusions' album last week there've been some very kind comments, a number of CD and digital sales and interest on streaming platforms. Glad to know this music has connected with people in the UK, USA, Australia and Spain ... and possibly elsewhere ...
Out today - new ghost elektron album 'Dreams and Delusions: Archival Reinvention [1990-1991]' draws from music I made in the 1990-1991 period reimagined with a dark ambient-instrumental-experimental feel - on CD and digital download via Bandcamp and also via the usual streaming platforms.
Just finished up the CD artwork for my upcoming ghost elektron album release 'Dreams and Delusions'
Inspired by Martin James, been thinking about the uncanny resurrections I've been orchestrating in my recent music projects & connections to Fishers work - decided to get hold of some hard copies in place of the 'well thumbed' Kindle versions. Looking forward to getting reacquainted ... 😎

So how have I spent the ghost elektron 'The Romance of Modern Mechanism' release day? Mainly playing around and reacquainting myself with this - and reading up on how to fix the effect selector potentiometer that barely works (apparently many EM1s have this exact same problem) ...

I've not been there for about 40 years but have fond memories of bunking off here when I was in sixth form 😎
