The main pop groups currently recording for Lime Green Yellow:

Curtains

An arch, pioneering frontier-pop group in the tradition of English Artrock

Accident

"Accidents waiting to happen" ep, LGY 007 CD, 1998

The debut ep, blending the spirit of Modernist punk with the ascetics of ambient. Six songs about relationships, confusion and modification; electronic and human elements combine to create a modern wall-of-sound pop music.

Lie In

"This is the long lie in" ep, LGY 008 CD, 1998

A second ep with excitable guitars and playful electronica with luxury synthetic tones and hypertones. This is isolated, darkly romantic and as fizzy as that illuminated pop bottle that pours its heart out night after night by the elevated section of the M4.

Click for some fizzy pop!

Fly To Work

"Fly to work" album, LGY 011 CD, 2000

At last, the album is completed and due to be released soon! Sending electronica to rattle in a pure pop shell, this is inclusive and optimistic, asymmetrically designed pop music. 16 songs for those who know the direction of travel at the beginning of the 21st century.

Net

Expansive and panoramic ambient improvisation group

en route

"En route as it is in action" album, LGY 004 CD, 1996

This is dark and human, brutal music of contrasts, soundtracking the inward / outward journey. An optimistic isolationist album, performed on a variety of electric and electronic machines, some specially built for the task, some corralled for a humming role, even some actual musical instruments...

"False colour pictures" album, LGY 012CD, 2000

More ambient depths and wavetips; a new album nearing completion and due to be released soon. Further twisting mutations of music, more specially found or made sound objects, and an exercise in extreme editing will end in a darkly yearning and beautiful soundtrack to your thoughts and hopes.

Pan Techno Icon

Deviant electronic music from Curtains bassist

Brawling

"Brawling in an art hangout" album, LGY 005 CD, 1997

Diseased electropop meets dub techno; disturbed analogue noises are explicitly linked to abstract painting. Rhythms of the modern age - mechanical, electronic - are fused to human elements - anguish, melancholy, wit, joy - a melodramatic swoop through the emotions.

Click for abstract expressionism for the ears!

Bossloper

"Atlantech bossloper" album, LGY 009 CD, 1999

Part two of the series, seizing darker ambient and techno as it has evolved through Detroit, Sheffield, Berlin, etc. and slinging it through the filters of artpop, queasy microtonality and typical English romanticism.

Experimentally ordered chaos from the berserker animator

Experimental

"Experimental clothing stories" album, LGY 006 CD, 1997

A journey in linear non-reality; wide expanses of sub-bass support dark foreboding forces meeting cartoon drum n bass. Electromesh beats, mutating anti-guitar noise soundtrack, ambient clusters and lush textures of organic grooves.

"Perfect Imperfect" album, LGY 014 CD, 2000

Confident, complex, relentless, abrasive, beguiling, blind panic music belonging to the 21st century. Oblique voices / cut up beatz / shining ethereal guitars / mega low frequencies. Blade Runner meets Hong Kong Phooey.

Placement

Ambient noise making group with secretive sound creation methods...

"Our man in high places" album, LGY 010 CD, 2000

Snapshots of ambient sound inspired by a Victorian Himalayan trekking diary, arranged into a series of music pieces. The result is a vivid imagined evocation of soaring peaks, oxygen-thin high passes, tense, rickety metal footbridges and vast plains.

d.u.

Electro and art experiment pop duo

 

"- ing round the globe" ep (unreleased)

A collection of feverish, nervily eccentric songs from the reclusive Somerset pair, acting out their favourite distressed gentlefolk celebrity fantasies. Somewhere halfway between Guided by Voices and Glen Baxter.

 

Music provided for films, other than above bands' output

 

"Cooking pigeons" soundtrack, director: James Callow, 1998

Heavily static atmosphere of electric sound and noisewaves and reinterpreted "cover" versions

 

"Eden approximately" soundtrack, director: James Callow, 2000

Another collaboration between LGY and Callow. Again high on atmosphere, this time a Somerset levels version of hillbilly / delta blues. Scratchy guitars and pumped, drunken tea-chest bass.
