   About The Grid
The Grid formed after Richard Norris met Dave Ball in 1987 during the recording of 'Jack The Tab', one of the UK's first Acid House albums. The album was co-produced by Norris and Genesis P.Orridge. The Grid released 10 singles from 1988 - 1995, all of which made the UK charts, including 'Floatation', 'Crystal Clear', 'Texas Cowboys', 'Figure Of 8', 'Rollercoaster' and the million-selling 'Swamp Thing'. They released three albums ('Electric Head', '456' and 'Evolver') and a compilation ('Music For Dancing'). The Grid have remixed and produced numerous artists including Brian Eno, Yello, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, Billy Ray Martin, Happy Mondays, Boy George, Robert Fripp, Sun Ra, Marc Almond and more. Grid tracks have been used extensively on television ('Coronation St', 'Emmerdale', 'Home and Away', 'Footballer's Wives', 'Eastenders' etc), and in film ('Pret A Porter', 'Pecker', 'Meeting The President'). The band took a break in 1995. Dave Ball went on to remix Faust, David Bowie and the Pet Shop Boys and produce Kylie Minogue, while Richard Norris has produced and remixed tracks for artists including Joe Strummer, Perry Farrell and Black Grape. His electronic band the Droyds have remixed Ladytron, Client and Armand Van Helden. He has recently completed the official Paul Oakenfold autobiography (out now!) whilst Dave is just about to release a new collection of Soft Cell remixes on Mercury/Universal with Marc Almond called "Heat - the remixes" (with Grid remixes!) which is due for release in 2008. The Grid got back together in 2005 and have been working on a new album for release on Some Bizzare in 2008. They have recently remixed Soft Cell ('Sex Dwarf' and 'So'), Jackie Chan, Mighty K, Client and Atomizer and have worked on new tracks with Marc Almond. Watch this space for regular uploads of new and rare Grid material; check out the Grid mixes of Man Parrish 'Hip Hop Be Bop' and the B52's 'Private Idaho' (B52's mix available at www.planetclique.net)...The Grid single "Put Your Hands Together" (including remixes by Paul Jackson, MHC, Kriss Darang, The Grid & FA4S) was recently released to great response & the new album "Doppelganger" was released March 24th 2008 on Some Bizzare & was a great success both critically & publicly. It is available via ITunes, Amazon, Beatport & all the usual digital sites & also available at both HMV & Zavvi as well as on their download sites.....STOP PRESS....The Grid are confirmed to play both Glastonbury festival & Glade Festival summer 2008. They are also confirmed to attend a panel discussion about the "20th Anniversary of Acid House" at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton on May 16th which is being hosted by TV & radio personality John Robb..... **********THE GRID ARE EXCLUSIVELY MANAGED BY ANGEL ARTISTS (info@angel-artists.com) ********** EXCLUSIVE LIVE BOOKINGS BY PRIMARY TALENT ***** *****EXCLUSIVE DJ BOOKINGS BY SEDITION DJS *****

Hey guys
I just got the new CD today from the UK. I'm listening to it right now. And even though I've only gotten up to PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER so far, I simply had to go online to tell you what a fucking fantastic CD you've made. WELL worth the wait, my friends. Fucking GENIUS! I hope you tour the US someday. I'll be there in the front row when you get to Chicago.
THANKS!

WOW! Dave, Richard...you guys topped yourselves again. I LOVE the new album...my fav. track has always been Crystal Clear, but now their are some heavy contenders! I first fell in love with Dave in '81 (Soft Cell) and then BOTH of you w/ Jack The Tab in 1988!
Keep that aural pleasure coming!
