Rain Falls In Grey
[CD : Released August 2007 : Cuneiform Records : RUNE 256]

Perhaps best known for electronic space music for keyboards, electronics and guitars, here Radio Massacre International have expanded greatly upon their usual sound and also
use conventional rock instrumentation to create a sincere and moving tribute to Syd Barrett, and in doing so, manage to capture some of the psychedelic magic of 1967-1968. This
album features a really striking cover by Daevid Allen, which is also a homage to Syd. "This album is our way of saying goodbye and 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 and equally rapid burnout. He picked up a zippo lighter, invented glissando guitar and incorporated non-musical sounds into the context of the new
psychedelic movement that had hardly had time to leave the conformity of Rhythm & Blues behind. His creation was a particularly English take on what we now call 'rock'...and for
those of us engaged in experimental or space rock, the debt is enormous."

 Rain Falls In A Different Way
A companion piece to the 2007 release Rain Falls In Grey, this album was recorded at the same time as its' big brother. Slightly overlooked for all the right reasons,
these pieces have now found their own voice, albeit, obviously, in a different way...
