Adi Newton is a prolific gentleman, getting his start with The Future who went on to spawn the Human League and Heaven 17. Love all the Clock DVA material through the "Advantage" lp. T.A.G.C.'s "Digitaria" and "Burning Water" are longtime favorites. Anyone familiar with the early Clock DVA cassette releases?
I've yet to hear any Clock DVA that I don't adore (including the beat stuff that would normally make me want to hit "mute" on the stereo). I believe I have all the cassette material and most of the albums. Also have several live sets. Not a weakness in the lot.
Wasn't aware of the other Clock DVA related projects, I like Clock DVA a lot, thanks for the heads up.
"Digitaria" may be in my top 5 of all time list.
You will be interested to know that Mute Records plan on re-releasing all the DVA back catalogue on CD, and Vinyl-On-Demand will be putting all those old DVA Demo Recordings together for a vinyl box thing they do so well.
Someone did put up a recording of TAGc Live @ The London Equinox 2009 on the internet, but I've lost the link!! Good stuff though.
"Digitaria" ws a benchmark for us all.
It's good match. As VOD just announced stopping their distribution for reason that label too urgently re-press their releases and release too much old stuff, and that would be very dissatisfying for the music fans and collectors. I'm sure, it's valid argument for latter, especially those, who're most of all in aim to make good money later on. But for music fans experience being lost when music is available? hmm... I can't follow the logic.
