Description:

LTM is pleased to announce the very first CD from cult Manchester electronica pioneer Eric Random, best known for his early post-punk recordings for New Hormones and Les Disques du Crepuscule, and collaborations with Pete Shelley (Buzzcocks), Cabaret Voltaire and Nico. As an original member of the Tiller Boys with Pete Shelley, Random injected a healthy dose of Krautrock into the dour Manchester post-punk scene in 1978/79, before going solo the following year. Early singles included Dow Chemical Company, Subliminal and That's What I Like About Me, the latter an NME Single of the Week in 1980. His first album, Earthbound Ghost Need, arrived in March 1982, and features guest contributions from Richard H. Kirk and Stephen Mallinder of Cabaret Voltaire. These early records are variously informed by electronica, loops, jazz, dub and mutant funk. In addition there are two tracks which previously appeared only on compilations. The CD has been carefully remastered from the original master tapes, and the booklet features liner notes and archive images. LTM. 2005.
