The Haçienda

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”

In 1978, Nurse With Wound lynchpins Steve Stapleton and John Fothergill were unknown noise merchants. Then they made a list that would accidentally become the guiding light for experimental music creators 

Kraftwerk weren’t always the sleek man machine we know and love today. This issue, we’re looking back to a rare live TV appearance by the band in 1970 and catching a glimpse of Neu!’s Klaus Dinger on drums

We’re spinning back to 1967, to the birth of Dr Bob’s Amazing Contraption, aka The Minimoog, arguably the most famous synth of all time  

It’s June 1973 and Tristram Cary is about to debut ‘Divertimento’, a work that was commissioned by Olivetti and composed on a collection of their electronic typewriters and photocopiers
