Operatives A & B began recording for the Reigns organisation in 2002. Their first album, ?We Lowered a Microphone into the Ground?, was a series of recordings made within a seemingly ?bottomless? hole found upon the Somerset Downs. Their follow-up, ?Styne Vallis?, was recorded in and around a submerged village that had been evacuated and strategically flooded in 1970 to make way for a new reservoir.
?The House on the Causeway?, which came out in March 2009 on Monotreme Records, was recorded in an abandoned house at the end of a causeway on the Dorset coast. Reigns operatives also recently scored the BBC2 series' "The British Family" and "The British At Work". Their fourth album, "The Widow Blades" (that follows the final hours of Millicent Blades before her much documented {but never explained} disappearence during the blizzards of 1978), will be out on October the 24th, 2011.
As with all Reigns recordings after listening please do not drive, exercise or operate heavy machinery
