Issue 32

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark 

Back with what we’re calling their difficult 13th album. Who are we kidding? 'The Punishment Of Luxury' is their finest since 1980's 'Organisation'. That should get the tongues wagging.

Blancmange

We put the band back together for one afternoon only. Neil Arthur and Stephen Luscombe talk us through their retrospective boxset 'The Blanc Tapes’. 

Morton Subotnick

We were delighted to catch up with one of electronic music’s early innovators and the co-founder of the hugely influential San Francisco Tape Center.

I Speak Machine

The Los Angeles-based duo of Tara Busch and Maf Lewis tell us about their new retro horror soundtrack and movie combo.
