LPX (R.I.P., 2005 - 2008) Bio LPX was Kildare man Leigh O’Gorman, although now based in South London. He specialised in brooding punk infused experimental electronica, as heard on four highly recommended releases; Fashion/Not Fashion, Seventeen, Experiments in Dub and HiFi and Easy Music for Difficult Ears.
On LPX releases he provided the (occasional) vocals, the programming, the production AND plays all the instruments. Leigh says his music sounds like “a bunch of nerds in a small room dropping acid”.
LPX ceased to exist in December 2008, as he has relinquished that responsibility to work on other music related projects.
(LPX, 2005 - 2008) In his spare time, he writes for the music orientated blog, Easy Music for Difficult Ears - easymusicfordifficultears.blogspot.com
The LPX release, "Seventeen" EP, was released in January 2008 to approximately 18 people - here are some nice things that have been said about it...
"...a collection of five inventive and agile instrumental tracks spanning 25 minutes, O'Gorman scores a coup with the sinister 'Jake's Lament'. Seventeen showcases an artist who is making music that's an unmitigated pleasure to partake in..."
Lauren Murphy, Entertainment.ie (February 2008)
"...if you're a fan of melodic electronica then you'll love "Seventeen". The five tracks on the EP are prime slices of lush electronica with an edge of dub - atmospheric, at times dark and menacing, at times soaring and energising..."
Aoife Barry, Kildare Nationalist (January 2008)
"...as track seams into track, I realise that this music was made to walk, breathe, live to: filled with purpose and intent, it will take you where you need to go..."
Naomi McArdle, Off Her Rocker (January 2008)
"...the fact that (he) sounds like Four-Tet jamming with a Glockenspiel wielding Patrick Moore should be recommendation enough..."
Music Like Dirt (February 2008)
"...the album [EP] features four [five] short little pieces of lush electronica. Top notch stuff yet again from LPX..."
RoadRecs.com (Road Records - January 2008)
"...it's more than that, it's a feeling. Like the title track of Kid A with fully grown legs, jazz put through tapped out electronica. LPX makes fine music from these things..."

i fly jets.....the first thing they teach you in pilot school is how to fly upside down over russians and take photos of them, just like tom cruise did in top gun...........then your goose dies and you never sing 'great balls of fire' again........then you see meg's ryan and forget all about your dead goose.....then you ride the box off your sexy teacher......then you play vollyball with the guysssss.......then val kilmer steals the ice out of your double jack because that's what he's known for......then you find out that before it died, your goose had laid a golden egg in your car, so you sit on it for a month and wait for it to hatch......then, after 4 weeks hard graft, the egg hatches and you have yourself a golden child, much like the one in that movie starring eddie murphy.....then the golden child turns coke cans into little voodoo dancing thingamajigs.....then you, shrek and donkey leave the model airplane shop to go and drink more absinth.
