History

In the late 70’s I teamed up with studio engineer and producer Pete Goodwin to explore the emerging Electronica scene. Pete was very ahead of the crowd in designing his own compositional computer and sound modules.

I always found his rhythms and off-the-wall musical ideas very inspiring and we wrote around 25 pieces together. Not particularly commercial, but very enjoyable to work on.

The Studio was in the basement of Ric Cripps house in Beech Rd Stockport.
Ric was a bass player in the 60’s Stockport music scene. He had a beautiful vintage Fender VI bass. A very sociable guy, always good to work with.

In 1983 Pete sent off a few of our songs to E&MM magazine and to our delight won Tape of the month! The prize was a meeting with Human League producer Martin Rushent. Sadly we never got to meet him due to his work schedule, but the win gave us confidence to grow our project.

The original printout of the track details sent to E&MM.
