about

Driving into the centre city on the 456, you journey through the underpass that the famed / infamous 'Concrete Collar' outer ringway
rumbles above. Immediately you are amongst the brooding, grey, tower blocks and office buildings that loom above. Dimly lit windows are visible against the rain grey concrete. Occasionally you may see a suited, bespectacled figure at random windows staring blankly outwards.

In the heart of the Centre City 'progress' is the new byword. A forest of
cranes has sprung up. It is construction time. New towers and shopping complexes are springing up in the inevitable concrete. Shoppers shuffle along heads down against the rain barely even noticing the activity overhead.

Passing through the Interhange where in the words of famed Centre City architect Oakley Boyce 'The Car was King' you see a dim blue glow in the sky, and in reflections in tower block windows. This is from waves emanating from the landmark which is the YBMR communications tower.

Rising 500 feet above the City, the YBMR tower is a visible landmark
above the grey of the city due to the blue hue from the transmitter aerials and dishes that protrude from the very top of the tower. Random red lights are dotted around signalling its position to low flying aircraft and Centre City government agency helicopters.
The YBMR tower is rumoured to be 31 floors in total. Several Centre City government departments are said to operate from there. It is alleged that a tunnel connects YBMR to the headquarters of the Centre City Constabulary.

On completion of a full circle of the inner 'Kingsway' you are spat back onto the 456 dual carriageway somehow changed by all you've seen in...

This is his best release so far--even better than Town Planning. Not since Cabaret Voltaire's "Voice of America" LP have England's grey, post-industrial landscapes inspired such interesting music. David Bowers

Volume Three

I lived and worked in Berlin the 80s. West Berlin. The legendary Hansa Studios. Heard rumours about Martin’s studio, and snippets of music. I never managed to connect with him though. So it’s a delight that his catalog is now being shared with the world. Sounding simultaneously timeless and futuristic. Thank you. geniusjones

waves crash and subside. sand and dust reclaim the majestic dome. the loss is sacred in itself. where once there was a race of thinkers and dreamers, now there is a peace that only the stones can know. set your watch to this and no other time. Leiyun
