British Electric Foundation: Electric Storm

It’s 35 years since Emma Anderson formed shoegaze behemoths Lush, but her new album ‘Pearlies’ is her first solo record proper.  As both a paean to independence and a work of darkly beautiful psychedelic pop, it’s a triumph. What’s on her mind these days? 

Philippe Petit, co-founder of thriving electronic/modular synthesis platform Modulisme, is a prolific, modular-focused recording artist in his own right

One of the first bands signed to Factory, A Certain Ratio helped to define the label’s distinctive look and sound, from their Peter Saville-designed record sleeves to their individualistic output.
