about

gg180

Eric Random is a key figure in the early Eighties music scene in Manchester that evolved around the Buzzcock’s New Hormones label and later around Cabaret Voltaire’s Doublevision. Time-Splice was recorded from 1982 to 1984 and came out on the Cabs’ label in 1984. It is the last album by Eric that features his trademark Postpunk and electro sound before he went in the direction of World Music. Some of these sounds are aleady present here, but the focus is classic Electronics. As a bonus for this re-issue we add the Mad As Mankind 12" that was recorded at Western Works studio and produced by Stephen Mallinder and Richard H. Kirk. Eric has also recorded a totally new version of "Mankind" for this CD which was premiered at last year’s Doppelvision festival in Vienna. An essential archival piece for lovers of classic Industrial and Postpunk.

Tracks 1 & 2 recorded at Western Works Studios, Sheffield.
Tracks 3 to 6 recorded at Pluto Studios, Manchester.
Tracks 7 to 10 recorded at Revolution Studios, Manchester.
Special thanks to Cliff Saffer for sax, Kalu & Aziz Zeria for tabla and tampura
Tracks 1 to 10 originally released in 1984 on Doublevision.

tick tick tick

This album has completely got under my skin. Stripped back electronica with a dark undercurrent, there's lots going on - little inserts here and there you only notice after repeat listening. The sequencing on this is really good, takes you into the heart of the album really well. Wasteland is brilliant - clicks, obscured vocals, simple bass blips - so good. Finishing off with the eponymous Tick Tick Tick, an infectious, nod-inducing beat. Less is definitely more. Can't recommend enough. Allan Tanner

Equally influenced by folk noir, beat poetry, and experimental industrial, this German producer builds unsettling, fascinating worlds. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 18, 2019
