This is the Flux "In Flux" cassette from 1987.The guys involved in the recording were - KL Guthrie - M Kane & E McDougall.
There are 10 tracks in total, and the one here below for you to sample is a number called "So Clear, It's So Clear", a short trippy ambient offering. This is the mellowest track on the cassette compared to the rest of the material, which is rather abrasive, but thought I'd ease you gently into their sound with this piece first, and I'll put one of their contrasting tracks up sometime later.
Although the track here was recorded in '87, it does hark back to the mid '70's in an Eno/Krautrock kind of way.
Thanx to Mike.
That's really relaxing. Love to hear more.

I've still got that tape. Pretty much worn out now but I mp3'd it years ago.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite tracks from it are Music, Vision of the Frozen Ones, Destroy All Systems & Being.
Flux became Novus & I've got their stuff as well & some booklets they used to hand out at gigs.
Great blog by the way. I'm off to explore more. Had a look a fews days ago and came back to find Flux up. How cool is that.
Saw them at the Westport lots of times as well always a mindblowing set. Years ahead of their time.
Excellent track. And hopefully hear more from Flux/Vex soon. A request: no god no master....
ReplyDeleteFound it, here's the lyrics to Being:-
ReplyDeleteLike a river I flow
Over mountains & valleys
Go
I go where I go
Never interfering
Just observing
Flowing into the sea
It stops not
Reaching the shore
Continue to flow
To & fro
The tides guide
Within
Without
I flow
Flowing like a leaf riding the breeze
Caring not where the future lies
Caring not what's in store
Knowing necessity guides destiny
That I explore
Flow
Flowing like a cloud passing by
Soar the heights of sky
Far beyond can I fly
Observe the clouds
They come & go
Limits I know them not
Limitation is human fallacy
Limitation is blasphemy
Flow
Swimming in the river of life
Banking on neither side
Keep in the swim
Keep in the flow
Flow
Thru the chamber of horrors
Flow
Thru the heavens that honour every wish
Flow
Flow
Let the past go
Flow
Without the baggae of memory
Flow
Without the armour of yesterday
Flow
Let it all go
Let it all go
Flow
Just flow
Just flow

I have this, and it is great to be reminded of it. I loved it at the time. I still play in a band with Kevin, he's great. :D
