Lots of new and exciting information i've acquired to spread to the world. Surgery Records can be found at www.surgeryrecords.com.au. Email either info@surgeryrecords.com.au or tkoch@oninoz.com if your require more information.. Pietro.. :: :: :: Surgery News :: _____________________________________________ Surgery Records was formed in1998 to promote the wealth of emerging talent in the Adelaide experimental electronic music scene to the rest of Australia and internationally. Surgery's first batch of local signing's showcases the broad range of styles present in the Adelaide experimental electronic music scene. It is a clear demonstration of Surgery's commitment to not focus heavily on any one particular sub-genre. Local releases range from the emotive and melodic post pop sensibilities of 'Super Science', the harsher retro sound of homemade analog heads, 'Modula', and to the 'somewhere-in-between' dense rhythmic harmonies of Tim Koch, a.k.a. Thug. Tim Koch is already well known locally and is starting to be noticed internationally for his previous releases on Sydney imprint 'Aural Industries' and his various contributions to local and overseas compilations. Tim has been involved in putting together the first Surgery compilation 'Initial Release'. This two CD set contains both local and international artists from such diverse destinations as Russia, Estonia, Brazil, Belgium, Finland, the US, NZ, and of course Britain. It showcases a broad cross-section of fresh electronica.

Biographies :: "Surgery Records is pleased to present the first commercial Super Science release, 'Love Like Life In miniature.' Even in its utilization of novel electronic sounds, of strange pops and clicks, this is a record that is firmly rooted in the exploration of the more 'traditional' elements of melody and harmonics. It finds a perfect middle ground between the experimental and the accessible. Emerging always from the intricacies of these lucid electronic constructions is a very audible emotional statement. This is personal music about life, and love." "Modula's first release on Surgery records, aptly titled "Audio Dismantle" is a showcase of the Modula approach to sonic de-construction. All tracks are 'played' live using a combination of both ancient analogue synths and home baked constructions assembled from old game console components. The resultant mix is a blend of atmospheric haze and aggressive rhythm, at times sublime and melodic and at others harsh and distorted. Step sequencing, home made drum machines, poorly maintained and even broken synthesizers combined with aging effects processors make this a definitively analogue sounding release. Not for purists, experimental electronica at its jammist. (Look Ma, no digital)."
