Back when things weren’t how they are now. We’re heading back to the sizzling summer of 1976, where one-time Roxy Music colleagues Phil Manzanera and Brian Eno are heading up the intense but brief experiment they called 801

At the back end of 1969, a new music making machine has its debut on British TV. The show, unsurprisingly, is ‘Tomorrow’s World’, the machine is the Moog Modular…

In 1989, Finitribe landed themselves in hot water with a provocative campaign to promote their ‘Animal Farm’ EP. Frontman Davie Miller relives the day the corporate lawyers came a-knocking

We’re setting the dials all the way back to 1927, to the Royal Albert Hall in London, where a packed audience gathered on a chilly winter’s evening to witness Russian scientist Léon Theremin using his remarkable black box to create “Music from the Ether”
