Sleep Research Facility - "Nostromo" CD (2001/2007, 320 With Scans)


"The Nostromo work draws inspiration mainly from Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi noir classic 'Alien', and in particular shots of the interior of the spaceship 'Nostromo'. Various themes and notions are touched upon by these quiet, haunting scenes, and a conscious decision was made to marry the implications these images carried to an interest in sound reflective of spaces as opposed to narrative. The resultant 'fictional listening' is a simple exploration of the ship in all its quiet darkness. Although apparently silent, it's living human components lie frozen in the deepest of sleep, the ship itself throbs a constant heartbeat from the rumble and pulse of its massive engines, the hum of energy flowing through its circuitry, hydraulic fluids pumping through its quiet mass. But behind these layers hide smaller, more indistinguishable elements (was that something scurrying away in the shadows?). Shhh...in space no one can hear you dream."

Court Martial - Demos 1 & 2 And EPs 81-82



"Court Martial was a minor fixture on the punk circuit in 1982, scoring an indie hit that year with the first of their two Riot City singles, the scampering 'Gotta Get Out' EP. Musically they were more 77-style but without any discernible talent. Although vocalist Alex was suitably snotty, he was a hopeless singer. Originally called The Zeds, they changed to Court Martial when Ian replaced John on drums.

They were formed in late 1979 while they still were at school. The first few gigs they played were at local youth clubs, before branching out to support Vice Squad and Chelsea at larger venues. Court Martial were also present at the Trinity Hall Bristol punk festival. Shortly after they recorded their demo tape they got signed with Riot City Records. The line-up was Alex: Vocals, Simon: Guitar, Richard: Bass, and Ian: Drums, and also a guy called Brian Wright (who is their manager and does the job well).

They recorded three demo tapes. Three tracks from the third demo were used for the 'Gotta Get Out' EP, with a fourth track used on the Riot City compilation LP 'Riotous Assembly' in a slightly different mix. A second single, No Solution EP, did not fare as well as the first and proved to be their last."
