Some of you my recall the music we played after Cranes concerts back in the day. This was often by Eardrum, the band I had with Steve Austin.We recorded alot back then but only actually released stuff on a few compilation albums. All our music has been available at bandcamp for a while now, but I haven’t been doing anything to promote it.Some back story is that the band was formed after Robert Smith from The Cure gave all of the Cranes band and crew a huge and generous bonus after the Wish tour. I decided to spend mine on the Akai S1000 sampler. I already used the 950, but the 1000 was a powerful machine back then (You can’t give them away now)Anyway, all the Eardrum music was completed using the Akai sequenced from my Amiga 1200 computer, with additional sounds from my Formant modular synth and Steve’s drumming and percussion. I’ve been trying to find everything we did for years, but this is probably it. ( minus different mixes and versions)Please enjoy it when it becomes available on all your favorite streaming services, or head over to bandcamp (https://eardrum2.bandcamp.com/album/the-complete-works)for download.
