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.
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 http:www.cdbaby.com/cd/radium885 All our earlier albums are available from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, CDBaby and associated digital distributers including iTunes, emusic, napster, rhapsody etc. Our CDBaby pages are most simply accessed from the discography page of our website.
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 new 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 we 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 stuff has been used for soundtracks on a number of TV programmes around the world too.
Have just put up a new track on my profile for You to enjoy :) Its called "Sitar Falling" and is a nice relaxing kind of ambient fusion track for a change ,-)
"TighT" is also happy to have contributed the opening track for the newest "50 Full Moons" Psytrance Compilation wich can be downloaded for Free in full CD quality... just click on pic below.
Hello dear friends! I got your last album. I really like the sound of radium88. Thanx for your amiability! Keep in touch. d.j. 4DV3N43 From Buenos Aires.
La vida y sus intrincados laberintos nos llevan por los lugares más recónditos, extraños, inesperados. Pero son esos lugares, esas cosas, esas personas, las que con el paso del tiempo pueden marcar y hasta cambiar tu vida. Somos esa parte de la vida que nos hace soñar, vivir, ser libres, aunque no lo queramos creer. Somos esos seres que contaminan a la gente con su alegría, infectan a los demás de sus ganas de vivir, de soñar, de amar... somos esos seres que terminan pudriéndose en su conciencia para hacer concientes a los demás y por fin, dejarlos disfrutar de sus sueños, de sus anhelos y por encima de todo, de su felicidad. Sigamos pudriéndonos pues, para algún día, pudrir por completo a la humanidad... Gracias por añadirme, pudramos al mundo, compartamos el sueño!!
