Electrip - hohner seven-piece percussion set, tanglewood bass guitar, squire strat six-string electric guitar, radio shack electronic reverb unit, yamaha psr-200 keyboard, mch-7 chorus pedal, aod-1 overdrive pedal, goodmans microphone and congas.
The debut album produced by Electrip is a very lo-fi affair with many of the tracks harking back to the music of the late 1960's and early '70's. The music seems to be heavy influenced by music from Neu, early Tangerine Dream and Cluster and maybe a slight nod in the direction of Guru Guru. Track one has a slow sliding blues bassline bobbing between a shuffling drum. Upon which plays a gentle guitar and repeating piano. This is one of my favourites from the album. "Amplified One","Plus 10%" and "Grapefruit Crush" are late night jams and lose it from time to time."Drone Electronica" is what is says, a long unshifting drone piece, with what appears to be an electronic drum backing - this one could have been made longer and still have been okay, it seems to end just as its carrying you away. "The Burning Brain" is straight copy from Tangerine Dreams 1969 album 'Electronic Mediation' only shorter, more compact. An overall decent album, just a shame about the quality of the recording as this seems to muffle some of the sounds and nuance of the tracks.

Volume One - pentium 3 PC running music software
As the album suggests this is a electronic lookback at computer or computer-like music made over the years. It focuses mainly on the dance scene of the 90's and covers hip hop, vocal house, drum n bass and hardcore techno. The album is chock full of the sounds that made that music great - the gradual build-ups, thumping basslines and catchy leads are all here. The album also makes a good showcase for the software products it used as anyone who own them would testify, and anyone thinking of producing their own dance tracks using eJay or prodj could do worse than listen to this album for ideas on how to structure there very own songs.

Electrip - electric guitar,microphone, oscillator(x3), feedback delay, splicer, splitter, hp filter and pentium 3 600 running software(mass v1.1,pro dj 1.4,musicmatch jukebox and n-track studio v1.2)
This second album shows a much wider range of influences and styles, from the soundtrack to the Forbidden Planet with its gurgling and warbling oscillators to uptempo guitar and drum tracks. It appears a lot of sampling has been involved on this album as when as some sort of phaser unit. Track two with its repeating drum pattern and echo/phased guitar creates a cavernous sound. "Stardancer" uses backwards sampled guitar loops over a funky bassline, while "Set for Stun" uses conga's and a house drum beat to create a mantric styled song which is just laden with phase. A Kraftwerk number is produced in "Not high in Heaven", which the title I believe is taken from their debut album only translated from German. This is Kraftwerk circa.1973 and is a very simple affair and perhaps runs on for too long. Track eleven is just a collection of samples clumped together to fill a three minute gap. "Objections" bass bubbles along underneath an altering drum rhythm with a cracking kick drum. The album ends as it began with a twittering, pulsating sci-fi sound.

Electrip - pentium 3 running software programs(cubase 5.1,reaktor 3 and plug-ins)
The latest album release 'Transistor' is marked as a transitional piece by Electrip. The music herein is of a minimal electronic nature and on first listen does not seem important, it's only on your second hearing that the nature of the music becomes apparent and a much more satisfying experience.

RESISTER Sidearms
RESISTER 2
RESISTER Class of '94
The band Resister were mainly a studio project band who create music out of other peoples music. They used a great deal of cuttting and effects in their music. It is very doubtful that any of their albums but see a reissue mainly due to legal issues surrounding chosen samples in the songs.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT! Believe it or Not!
BELIEVE IT OR NOT! 100% Sweat
BELIEVE IT OR NOT Tapes
A follow-on band from Resister. These carried on from where they left-off, but where joined by the self-styled character known as Ripley. Named after characters from the original Ripley books the band went onto create a music as weird and wonderful as their namesake. As with Resister there isn't much chance of BION getting a reissue anytime soon!
BION where Ripley, Poo Kurt, Edward Raysure, Three Ball Charlie and Flying Lesbian.
The final cassette release was a collection of out-takes and studio noodlings and was their answer to their favourite band Faust's famous 'Tapes' collection.
THE STONES GODS The Stone Gods
Influenced by their close friends the Rocklords, The Stones Gods created a mixer of powerful rock and experimental composition and including keyboards in their sound which puts a different sound into the equations so these aren't just a straight Rocklords copy band. This album may see a reissue onto FarOut pending discussions.
The Stone Gods where Bob Cratchet(vocals), Tommy Steele(guitar), Tony Iommi(keyboards) and Peter Mayhew(drums).
