Golden Cranes 015

These C-10 Cassettes hold two previously unreleased Circuit Breaker tracks. Evolve/repeat and Scapes. Both recorded around the same time for an E.P that never materialised, they use repetitive drums and disjointed electronics with vocals floating above to create a powerful haunting sound. Only 10 have been made with the Lino print made by Edward Simpson as the sleeve.

Golden Cranes 014


Another Solo Edd Incarnation of Circuit Breaker- This time using a homebuilt guitar, with a contact mic built into the body, (the guitar body has an arm of springs and metal poles), saxophone and 'no-input' mixing! C-10 tape, hand drawn pencil cover

C-10 tape
The broken records which had their sleeves used for collages on CG012 are now used here! Our new found love affair with our Reel-to-Reel recorder continues with some fully kitted out Circuit Breaker improvisations captured onto it!

Golden Cranes 012


An old lady in Milton Keynes gave us her Reel-to-Reel recorder and these tapes document the frankly bizzare stuff we found on there. Fragments of family sing alongs, private moments of oral experimentation and eroded, un-identifiable sounds occupy one side of the tape and, (somewhat symbolically), the flip side is the improvisation we recorded to wipe over the other stuff!

The art work is collaged from the sleeves of some old broken records we where given!
