Knutsford In May
[CD : Released June 1997: Cenatur Discs : CENCD 021]
In May 1996 Radio Massacre International were the first group to play an electronic concert at Jodrell Bank space research centre in Cheshire, in the shadow of the biggest
satellite dish in the world. It was a location buzzing with inspiration and ideal for creating improvised music. KNUTSFORD IN MAY is a complete direct to DAT recording of the
music played that evening. The pristine digital sound quality is matched by some inspirational musical twists and turns. From the first notes of 'Under the Dish' the atmosphere
is one of unashamed glorification of the surroundings and its relationship with space and time. RMI are always a group to thrive in a special environment. The album's
centrepiece is a long dynamic improvisation named 'Skeletope' which includes samples of Jodrell Bank scientists bouncing the first signals off the surface of the moon. A triumph
of live sequencing, mellotron and guitar, it is one of RMI's very best pieces to date. 'Action Painting's sequences develop hypnotically as they bounce around the planetarium and
round off a performance that the group was so happy with they just had to release it.

CIty 21
'City 21' is radio massacre international's first foray into film soundtrack work. Artistic director Chris Zelov was in the audience at our Gatherings concert of 2007 in Philadelphia, and as a result of what he
heard, commissioned the band to provide the music for the project. The album is the result of intensive work undertaken in early 2008 and combines untypically brief pieces with the more extended pieces with which
radio massacre international are usually identified, forming a coherent whole. It comes as a factory pressed disc in a digipack sleeve.
