Radio Massacre International
Rain Falls In Grey

Album US 2007 on Cuneiform Records label
Electronic and Rock (Space Rock, Ambient)

Best known for electronic space music, here Radio Massacre International use conventional rock instrumentation (bass, drums) in addition to their usual array of guitars, keyboards and electronics to create a sincere and moving tribute to Syd Barrett, and manage to capture some of the psychedelic magic of 1967-1968. This album is our way of saying goodbye & thanks to a genuine one-off. His passing had an unexpectedly profound effect, despite the fact that he hadn't been near a guitar in more than 30 years, it forced us to consider what an enormous influence he was, despite his space-age ascendancy & equally rapid burnout. He picked up a zippo lighter, invented glissando guitar & incorporated non-musical sounds in the context of the new psychedelic movement that had barely had time to leave the conformity of R&B behind. His creation was a particularly English take on what we now call "rock", but which at the time was likely to leave one stranded between slightly surreal pop & full-on jazz extemporisation. For those of us engaged in experimental or space rock, the debt is enormous. a northern echo recording © 2007 radio massacre international ℗ 2007 cuneiform records made in the usa Catalogue number variations are: Rune 256 on cover spines, rune 256 on CD.
