about
Following the tragic death of Professor Bernard Quatermass in 1980, a schism within the British Experimental Rocket Group (B.E.R.G.) resulted in the formation of a branch, staffed by those who believed that the Government had failed to support modern cultural developments in much the same way that they earlier failed to provide leadership in the area of space research. Additional secret research facilities were created to allow diversification into the field of electronically generated synthetic sounds for experimentation, communication and 'musical' composition.
Persistent rumours that BERG have 'weaponised' sound waves for military purposes continue to be denied. But there can be little doubt that sufficient research funding was available to ensure that this new venture was successful.
The Committee For Sonic Research are pleased to present a second exclusive collection from the sonic experiments and synthetic compositions filed in the BERG archives, covering a period spanning more than 30 years. The archives are stored at a number of locations. Whilst the main site is a well organised controlled environment, some archive material remains in 'cold storage' on a variety of media in a range of locations. With their kind permission (and some maps), selected tracks and recovered excerpts are being made publicly available for the first time.

TCFSR started in the 1980s primarily to release the work of Except Buses, an
experimental electronic music group, without compromise to label demands. We lay dormant for almost two decades before being re-activated to promote the work of tourmaline hum, solo projects by its members and a widening range of other artists.

This is his best release so far--even better than Town Planning. Not since Cabaret Voltaire's "Voice of America" LP have England's grey, post-industrial landscapes inspired such interesting music.
