Northern Lights (Issue One)


The Northern Lights series of cassettes was a collection of 4 audio magazines featuring music and the spoken word compiled by one Shaun Moores from Lymm in the Cheshire borders of South Manchester.
Each tape featured two tracks by an established artist (in the case of Issue One, Cabaret Voltaire contributed two live tracks). Also of note on this tape are two tracks by Moss Side funk-pranksters Rire:To Laugh who worked with ACR frontman, Simon Topping. Monologues by Kevin Hewick and The Situationalist Youth Movement (who ran the Platos nights at Pickwicks in Liverpool) and some home taped strumming by Mal Smith make up the rest.
Future tapes included work by Dislocation Dance, Eric Random, Ian Curtis, Biting Tongues, Malcolm Whitehead and Danse Society. With thanks to blog contributor Shivadescending, these will all feature on these pages over the next few weeks.
