The Durutti Column – ‘Without Mercy’ (Factory Records, 1984/Factory Benelux, 2018)

Heavenly Bodies – ‘Celestial’ (Third Mind Records/C’est La Mort, 1987)

“The ghost of early Dead Can Dance understandably lingers in the tribal percussion and heavily reverbed guitar work and Seaman’s voice is most definitely from the school of Lisa Gerrard, albeit via Alison Shaw.”

Jane And Barton – ‘Jane And Barton’ (Cherry Red, 1983/Optic Nerve Recordings, 2016)

“…if you listen carefully, you can almost hear the sound of a gentle breeze in the rushes as you laze on a soft picnic blanket, staring up into the blissful blue.”

Robin Saville & Oliver Cherer – ‘Sizewell’ (Modern Aviation, 2019)

“Given the historical propensity of both to dabble in burbling synths, drones and conceptualities, it’s often difficult here to identify where Saville stops and Cherer starts (and vice versa). “

Pacific – ‘Inference’ (Creation Records, 1990)

“In every race, the also-ran, in every play, the understudy, at every festival, a bottom of the bill. And so to Pacific. “
