Bio
The way the four of us met was an accident, a sheer fluke. We were actually washed up on the beach together at the seaside resort that dare not speak its name. Gradually we descended upon Nottingham like an embarrassing infection, trying to escape the past with its salty waves of nostalgia. Nowadays, though, because of events too ghastly to mention we are currently in hiding. Nobody knows where we live, or even whether we really exist.... Nevertheless, we have at long last completed the follow-up to metamorphosis (2004) and it's ready now! Samples may be streamed at the link above. All our earlier albums are available from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, CDBaby and associated digital distributers including http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/radium88/id6281885, emusic, napster, rhapsody etc. Our CDBaby pages are most simply accessed from the discography page of our website radium88.net Fans of strict chronology will already have spotted the 2006 album Wow! Infotainment! This is actually a collection of tunes from the past 5 years or so that never made it onto albums because they were too jolly and didn't quite fit the increasingly chilled mood our music seems to be taking nowadays, plus some remixes we did of ourselves. Despite not being a "proper" album it's been getting quite a bit of airplay notably from Pulse Rated and Radio Gets Wild who nominated us for another award to go with the album of the year one they gave us for metamorphosis. Nice. But right now it's the current album "only Science can tell us the Truth" you can hear. This is easily our most coherent, mellow and indeed enthusiastically recieved album as far as press and radio are concerned. So far it has recieved airplay from Echoes Radio, Musical Starstreams, Chillcast, Robocast Radio, radioZerogravity, Idyllic Music, Dave's Lounge, Below Zero, Starsend, The Cosmic Lounge, Melodious Synth, Spherical Sounds, Le Vestibule, The Overflow, BBC Radio Nottingham and many others. Other stuff we did - a remix for Banco de Gaia and a track on ambient compilation em:t003. Our music has been used for soundtracks on a number of TV programmes around the world too on everything from Brazilian surf and Russian snowboard documentaries to Canadian kids cartoons. Our newest album Escaping Tomorrow is out now as a download and on CD in january. -

Sounds Like
in our time we've gone all the way from skank-tastic gypsy punk to dub techno via the hip-hop tune bob dylan and the band never quite got around to making. one minute it's spaghetti western trance, the next arabic gospel country-blues. these days we're in an eclectic ambient downtempo trip-hoppy sort of mode, ideal chill-out music, kind of like philip glass jamming with early orb.
