After two years of digging, hunting, unearthing archives, digitising and a lot of correspondence, Nyahh Records releases a compilation of artists from the deep Irish underground. Experiments with tapes and handmade instruments... sounds that had been left in boxes on tape or cassette have now been cleaned up and presented together in a collection spanning over four decades.
"An outstanding compilation that shines a light on Ireland's unsung avant-garde/experimental music underground... A few names may be familiar... But there are some revelatory and illuminating inclusions from lesser-known names, all operating in the shadows with the fearless spirit of DIY sonic exploration" (Norman Records).
Features: Desmond Leslie (notable for some early Dr Who soundtracks), Roger Doyle (Operating Theatre, United Dairies), David Cunningham (General Strike / The Flying Lizards), Seán Ó'hUiginn, Daniel Figgis (Princess Tinymeat, ex-Virgin Prunes), Nigel Rolfe, Noel Molloy, Olwen Fouéré (Operating Theatre), Danny McCarthy (The Quiet Club), Giordai Ua Laoghaire, Fergus Kelly, The Shit, Burning Love Jumpsuit, and John Carson & Conor Kelly.
Presented in a 6-panel digisleeve with 16-page booklet.
