Further Perspectives & Distortion: An Encyclopedia of British Experimental & Avante-garde Music...

A year in the making, 'Further Perspectives & Distortion' presents a snapshot of the UK's experimental and avant-garde music scene, observed through the paradigm-shifting lense of the post punk revolution and bringing together disparate names from across the experimental spectrum. This is a long-overdue look at the 'other side' of the freedom offered by the tectonic shifts in the musical landscape in 1976 & 1977.
