Land Of Yrx
Forget The Lessons Of The Past
Last copies. 'SELECTED CASSETTE RECORDINGS MAY 1983-AUGUST 1984' - A wonderful -and long overdue- vinyl compilation of
key UK electronic pioneers The Land Of Yrx's work between 1982 and 1984. Released almost exclusively across a series of
DIY produced cassette only releases, the band's output is now revered in that golden period of groundbreaking, home
recorded 4 track experimental/minimal electronics releases, all of which are highly sought after and hugely influential
on the swell of electronic musicians that followed at that point in the UK. The duo consists of Shrewsbury based Rob
Andrews and Dave Gate (extended for live shows) and with their core discography being so utterly wonderful, honing in on
a fair representation of their work with 20 minute-a-side time caps here, was no mean feat. So much of their greatest
work featured across epic 15 minute plus jams - ideal for the cassette format, but trickier for wax. But we've got
there; 7 beauties which highlight the bands' love for experimental electronica, kosmische/krautrock and prog perfectly -
all underpinned with Rob's superb often Gottsching-esque guitar work. A superb band, totally worthy of further
investigation - massively recommended to anyone into any of the above, or that core of early UK electronic
underground/cassette scene of Colin Potter, Paul Nagle, Neural Circus as well as overseas heavyweights like Conrad
Schnitzler etc. Limited to 300 copies.
