One of my British Space Group tunes is featured on this new
compilation released this Thursday in aid of the charity Mind; any and
all support you can give would be hugely appreciated.
The title
references the fabulous Exotic Pylon label and radio show which connects
all the participants - in my case, the radio show.
Press release:
Once upon a time there was a radio show, then there was a series of
live gigs and events. Eventually, there was a record label. They were
all called Exotic Pylon. There was one man who was the creator, curator
and driving force behind all these things: a man called jonny mugwump. A whirlpool of creativity and enthusiasm, jonny is as close to a raging Darwinian force of nature as you could ever meet.In its record label state, Exotic Pylon produced a series of releases that
were completely unique from each other. There was no through - line of
sound. No label aesthetic. The one thing they all had in common was that
they had nothing in common. From torch songs to folk, from electronica
to spoken word. All human life was on the label (assuming the human
life was slightly lop-sided and walked with a limp). The one thing that
united everyone on Exotic Pylon was a sense of comradeship. We were all
proud to have been involved in some way or another. We were all members
of the same invisible college. Almost without exception we all kept in
contact with each other once the label had died. It may have disappeared
but its spirit has remained.
Here we present XPYLON, a compilation
of ex-Pyloneers. Each track is brand new and exclusive to the release.
There are supergroups, individuals and collaborations, all of which
evoke the heady days of the once great Exotic Pylon.
