Pye Corner Audio — The Black Mill Tapes Volumes 1&2 (TYPE107), vinyl release
- When
- Apr 2012
This is a release on Type Records, the label I co-founded with John Xela. John was responsible for its musical output; I contributed in the first few years on design and running the label. The catalogue is archived here for posterity.
Not much is known about the shadowy figure of the Head Technician, the man supposedly behind Pye Corner Audio. 'The Black Mill Tapes Volumes 1 & 2' were originally released by the Technician himself, and have been picked up for a very special vinyl release. These collect up the first handfuls of tracks from the Pye Corner Audio vaults, and are a perfect introduction to the Head Technician's fuzzy Radiophonic funk. 'The Black Mill Tapes' are a collection of long lost club records, engineered solely for the woozy drive home — 4am, long highways and bright lights.
Made at Type.
