London Electric Guitar Orchestra: Sticks and Stones

by John Eyles
This EP has a running time of just under twenty minutes and consists of one extended piece (indexed in three separate tracks). Recorded in 2001, the piece is almost the distilled essence of the London Electric Guitar Orchestra. In this expanded eleven-member version of the group, its guiding principles remain solid; as ever, the music is ...
Pocket: Pocket

John Bisset and Alex Ward are both renowned free improvisers. Bisset organised the annual Relay improvisation festival, set up the 2-13 club and led the London Electric Guitar Orchestra.

Michael Renkel: Activity Centre Mowen and Moos Remix

by John Eyles
Hmm, this is an oddity. The duo of guitarist Michael Renkel and drummer Burkhard Beins call themselves Activity Centre. Mowen & Moos was their double CD (one CD called Mowen, the other Moos ) released on 2:13 records in 1999. You are unlikely to have heard it (or even seen it) as it was released in ...
Relay: Relay Eight

by John Eyles

It is an event that happens in London as part of the Stoke Newington Festival each June. This release dates from 2000, the eighth such event. Relay III recorded the 1995 event. Others have not (so ...
