about

These are my earliest recordings dating back to 1981/82 when I had fairly primitive equipment (see below) and could barely afford a reel of tape. I have kept the recordings pretty much as they were (no overdubs), just adding a splash of reverb / noise reduction, etc on some tracks.

Some pieces were composed for 'Quark Video' - a Science Fiction videozine directed by brilliant young SFX animator Kevin Davies who went on to work on TV's 'Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy', 'Terrorhawks', Disney productions and the best-selling '42:The Improbable Ideas of Douglas Adams'.

All profits on this release will go to Parkinsons UK charity.

Composed, played and produced by Peter Beasley for Metalbottle Records, London, 1981-82. Remastered 2020.

Digital download release: 27 November 2020
