The debut of one of the great forgotten bands of the post punk, dark-industrial era. Pump were Andrew Cox and David Elliott, a pair of likeminded electronic music fiends who met at Brighton uni in '79. After staring a fanzine and a tape label the pair eventually began to record their own material (initially under the moniker MFH). In '87 they finally recorded their exceptional debut album under the Pump moniker. The album has languished in the out-of-print wilderness pretty much since it's release. Clearly influenced by the era that immediately preceded its release - capturing the vapour trails of the post-punk movement while fermenting industrial and electronic ideas that would go on to dominate their incredible, criminally overlooked second album "Sombrero Fallout". For fans of Cabaret Voltaire, Coil. The album was originally described by The Observer as "bad mood music" while Melody Maker said it sounded like "the clanging and abrasion of rusted and misaligned gears and ratchets...". Recorded 1986-87 featuring Karl Blake (Lemon Kittens, Shock Headed Peters) and Malcolm Lane (Metabolist). Originally released in 1987 on O Yuki Conjugate's label Final Image. Remastered at Dubplates & Mastering and reissued in a beautiful gatefold sleeve. Ltd x 500 copies.
