As we said in our Joe Meek cover story back in 2020: “His crazy life, a hazy, pill-popping, paranoid horror comic, often obscures his pioneering work. When you hear the insane B-sides, freakbeat gems and a fearlessly individual approach that gave us an enduringly peerless suite of low-tech sci-fi mania, it’s easy to see him as an idiot savant of sound. Indeed, the now revered ‘I Hear A New World’, described by Meek as “an outer space stereo music fantasy”, was so far out there it was deemed unsuitable for release on its completion in May 1960.” This re-release from 2015 shows how far ahead of the curve Meek was.
