A new breakbeat ambient mashup from the godfather of UK electronica.
Bio / Background
Karvavena Records presents PARTS OF A GREATER HOLE by THOMAS LEER, the founding father of UK electronic music. Released on the 25th anniversary of his hugely influential debut single, it signals the end of a self-imposed ‘resignation’ from the music industry of over a decade.
Mobile music in it’s purest sense, PARTS OF A GREATER HOLE is the sound of a musician on the road, breaking free of the studio and relying solely on battery-powered synths, random samples and hand-held recording devices. Twisted science, big beats, archive vinyl samples and mad professors all figure in an uncompromising soundtrack that doesn’t pause for breath across 17 tracks.
Thomas Leer defined low-tech indie techno with Private Plane (1979), early chill-out and industrial with his Robert Rental collaboration The Bridge (1979). In the 80s he recorded synth-soul for Cherry Red (Contradictions) and Arista Records (Scale of Ten) and formed ACT with Propaganda’s Claudia Brucken.
↓ more ↓But then in 1988 he vanished from the scene almost completely. Like a scene from The Prisoner '" “why did you resign?” '" he has been silent ever since.
November 2004 saw a major re-release of Leer’s 1985 opus Scale of Ten by BMG, and now PARTS OF A GREATER HOLE marks his return proper, inspired to record again after hearing Future Sound of London’s seminal DJ set for the Solid Steel show on Kiss FM. It’s an album in which he returns to his low-tech electronic roots and proves that, unlike his contemporaries from 70s electronica, Leer has effortlessly added new sounds like drum & bass, glitch-tech and chill-out into his palette without any compromise.
Two tracks - Cell Structure and Restructured Cells - were premiered alongside new work by DJ Spooky and Si Begg on a special CD-Rom produced by the Science Museum for their Cybersonica festival in November 2004. A musical road movie, PARTS OF A GREATER HOLE is easily his best work in 20 years, showing that for Leer the journey is far from over.
