| | Description: | The Grey Area of Mute have announce a long awaited reissue of Thomas Leer and Robert Rentalā??s influential 1979 album, ā??The Bridgeā?? - on vinyl for the first time since its original release, and on CD for the first time since The Grey Area of Muteā??s release 30 years ago. The reissue of Leer and Rentalā??s sole collaboration will coincide with ā??From The Port To The Bridgeā??, an exhibition detailing the duoā??s work and legacy, due to run at The Horse Hospital in London from 21 January through to 10 February 2022.
Thomas Leer and Robert Rental, both from Port Glasgow in Scotland, were at the vanguard of a DIY electronic scene that went on to influence and inform the 80s synth-pop movement. After self-releasing two solo 7ā? singles, they came to the attention of Throbbing Gristle and signed to their label, Industrial Records. Their one and only collaboration, The Bridge, was originally released in 1979, the first non-TG / associated release for the label.
Recorded at Rentalā??s home over two intense weeks using equipment provided by Throbbing Gristle (with only rudimentary explanation of how to use it), their groundbreaking album went to #9 in the UK Independent Chart and its influence was cited by a number of electronic musicians at the time, including John Foxx, Matt Johnson (The The) and ABC.
Robert Rental (who sadly died in 2000), went on to collaborate with The Normal - Daniel Miller and Rentalā??s live album, Live at West Runton Pavilion, 6-3-79, was released in 1980 by Rough Trade - released a single on Mute, ā??Double Heartā?? / ā??On Locationā?? in 1980 and produced music for the Comic Stripā??s A Fistful of Travellerā??s Cheques, before retiring from the industry. Thomas Leer went on to release albums on Cherry Red and Arista, formed Act with Claudia BrĆ¼cken (formerly of Propaganda) in the late 80s who released on Trevor Hornā??s ZTT label. After a hiatus, he re emerged with a series of releases from 2001, and currently lives in Greenock. - Originally released on Industrial Records in 1979, and reissued on CD by Mute in 1992.
