Richburg, Not Dead but Sleeping
Richburg in New York State, USA was a petroleum boom town in the 19th century, there were derricks in peoples gardens. At it's peak it was home to 8,000 and boasted it's own opera house. The boom lasted for sixteen years and was over by the start of the 20th century. At the turn of the 21st century the population had dwindled to less than 500. ]]> The download includes a six page PDF including descriptive text and an illustration of the subject of each composition.

Following the tragic death of Professor Bernard Quatermass in 1980, a schism within the British Experimental Rocket Group (B.E.R.G.) resulted in the formation of a branch, staffed by those who believed that the Government had failed to support modern cultural developments in much the same way that they earlier failed to provide leadership in the area of space research. Additional secret research facilities were created to allow diversification into the field of electronically generated synthetic sounds for experimentation, communication and 'musical' composition.

Persistent rumours that BERG have 'weaponised' sound waves for military purposes continue to be denied. But there can be little doubt that sufficient research funding was available to ensure that this new venture was successful.

With the recent return to popularity of 'retro' electronic sounds, The Committee For Sonic Research are pleased to have secured exclusive access to many of the sonic experiments and synthetic compositions filed in the BERG archives, covering a period spanning more than 30 years. The archives are stored at a number of locations. Whilst the main site is a well organised controlled environment, some archive material remains in 'cold storage' on a variety of media in a range of locations. With their kind permission (and some maps), selected tracks and recovered excerpts will be made publicly available for the first time.

'PROTO' is the first official release by the 'British Experimental Rocket Group' on TCFSR, and we look forward to a long and fruitful partnership with them.]]>

Recorded on 9 December 1988 and featuring Carlton Newbould on guitar, 'Ice In The Sky' is the final track from the album 'Solstice 25'.

Released on the 25th anniversary of being recorded in a live session on 11 June 1989, 'Solstice', the title track from the Except Buses album 'Solstice' has been remastered by tourmaline hum and is presented with three never before released tracks recorded in the 1980s by Except Buses.

'Solstice 25' was originally intended as a digital release, however the art by Gingernutty translated so well that a very limited edition of individually numbered CD packs have been created. The CD is housed in a light card slipcase inside a high quality A5 printed envelope.
