B.E.F. - Music For Stowaways

The first reissue of seminal early 1980's electronic recordings from the British Electric Foundation (B.E.F.), featuring Heaven 17 / ex-The Human League's Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh, with Adi Newton (Clock DVA) and John Wilson. 

Its initial release in March 1981 was a limited edition numbered eight song cassette entitled 'Music for Stowaways', with 'Stowaways' being a reference to the original name for the then-new Sony portable cassette player - later renamed the Walkman - of which B.E.F. were great fans. 'Music for Stowaways' was intended to be listened to on such a device. The cassette was followed by a seven song LP, 'Music For Listening To', which had a slightly different tracklisting, while other B.E.F. music was utilised for B-sides of early singles by Heaven 17.

Available in CD and LP Vinyl formats.

B.E.F. - Music For Stowaways is released Friday, 21st April 2023 and is available to pre-order now.

Honey Beard have a brand new video out for the song 'Slipstream of a Daydream' from the Oneiros album.

"This song marks the end of a era for us, 10 years of highs and lows. We now transition into the billowing ether of an undefined and uncertain future!"

Come dancing this weekend to "Dance Forever (Shadowrunner Remix)".

Arcade Ocean is the latest project from Vienna-based artist and writer Ingo Frühwirt. Drawing inspiration from the classic retro games and synthesizer music of the 80s, Arcade Ocean is a nostalgic and dreamy journey into the past.

Ingo has a long history of singing and playing in various bands before branching out into the world of synth-music. With Arcade Ocean, he sought to create something that was both familiar and new, blending his love for the classic sounds of a long gone decade with a fresh perspective. The result is a dreamy, synthesized journey down memory lane, featuring pulsing beats and melodies that transport listeners back in time.

'Perfect Paradise' is a nostalgic Synthwave track that captures the feeling of being unable to let go of a loved one, even if it's causing you pain. The song's dreamy, 80s-inspired sound sets the stage for a journey through the inner workings of a heart torn between love and self-preservation. As the synths wash over you, you can't help but feel the emotional weight of the artist's struggle, making 'Perfect Paradise' a powerful and poignant listen.
