Eric Random Meets The Bedlamites

Earthbound Ghost Need
Sealed 1982 UK Original. Cut Out Hole. During The Second Half Of 1981 Random Recorded At Various Studios, Chiefly Western Works In Sheffield But Also Cargo And Revolution In Manchester, And Assembled A Debut Album. Earthbound Ghost Need (The Title References The Celebrated William Burroughs Novel Naked Lunch) Finally Appeared On New Hormones In March 1982, Featuring Six Extended Tracks And An Expanded Sonic Palette, Including Distinct Middle Eastern Influences, Although Perhaps The Biggest Surprise Came In The Form Of A Strangely-Straight Cover Of Maurice Ravel's Bolero That Might Have Left Bo Derek In A Very Different Mood In 10. Richard H. Kirk Guests On Rabble Dabble Dub, Stephen Mallinder Guests On Regret And Despair, And Both Cabs Contribute To Force Feed (The Latter Titled Force Field On The Tape Box). Other Guests Included Lynn Walton, Ian Runacres And Andy Diagram Of Dislocation Dance, And Regular Bassist Wayne Worm, Aka Wayne Sedgeman. Reviewing The Album In The NME, Amrik Rai Praised "A Record Of Incidental Music For Austere Occasions, A Diverse Exhibition Of Dub Pyrotechnics In A Well-Worn Electronic Location. Simultaneously Metallic And Emotional, Random Deposes Rock Convention, Grating Through Darker Moments Of Gloom, Scraping And Scratching Towards An Area Of Hidden Emotion."
