ES791 Reader Offer

We have the legendary Stephen Mallinder – formerly of Cabaret Voltaire, now of Wrangler and Creep Show – on the cover of the new issue of Electronic Sound. We have a great supporting cast as well, our other interviews including Karl Bartos, Billy Currie, Kelly Lee Owens, Alison Cotton, Everything Everything, GNOD and The Beatmasters.

This month's magazine is accompanied by an exclusive seven-inch featuring two splendid tracks from Stephen Mallinder. It's pressed on lush green vinyl too. The A-side is the warm and fuzzy but still resolutely warped 'Contact', the opening cut of 'Tick Tick Tick', his brand new album. This is loose-limbed electro-funk from another dimension. Turn the record over for the more mechanical sound of 'Cool Down', which originally came out as a 12-inch single in 1981 and later became one of the highlights of Mallinder's debut solo album, 'Pow-Wow'. "I think having two tracks from two albums that were released 40 years apart adds up to a nice little seven-inch vignette," he says. He's certainly not wrong.

As with all of our music releases, this seven-inch is strictly limited and it's only available to readers of Electronic Sound, so make sure you get your copy right away.
