About this item

The vinyl edition of Surge Studio Music gives punk and glam rock pioneer Spider Taylor's archival pornographic soundtracks the physical presence they deserve. Sourced from his 1985-86 work for Al Parker and Steve Scott's iconic Surge Studios, these tracks, which were crafted with drum machines, analogue synths and Steve Conrad's engineering, unfold with tactile depth. The reverb-soaked ambience of 'Rainforest,' the nocturnal pulse of 'Tech' and the sleazy, cinematic grooves take on a new dimension and highlight Taylor's adventurous blend of post-punk, synthwave and erotic atmosphere. Wrapped in Gwenael Rattke's striking artwork and with detailed liner notes, it's a definitive document of a lost queer musical world.
