Nebraska Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Public Information will release a compilation of interpretations of early electronic music pioneer F.C. Judd. Like his contemporaries of the post-war era (such as Daphne Oram, Delia Derbyshire and John Baker), Judd was a devoted amateur enthusiast, and one of the earliest advocates of electronic music in Britain. He recorded sound effects, built his own sythesizer and authored several books. Interpretations On F.C. Judd sees 12 artists reinvent Judd's early experiments, including Perc, Chris Carter, Holly Herndon, Pye Corner Audio, Leyland Kirby, Bandshell, Ekoplekz and Editions Mego man Peter Rehberg. It follows on from Public Information's 2012 compilation Electronics Without Tears, which extensively showcased Judd's early sonic experiments. "We gave [the artists] Fred's entire archive of sounds, tone experiments, field recordings and lectures and left it up them to produce an audio artefact befitting of Judd himself," the label explains. Tracklist 01. Ian Helliwell – Solid States 02. Perc – Woodford 03. Chris Carter – Flip-Flop 04. Holly Herndon – Control Sample 05. Mordant Music – Hoarded House (reMMix Fredit) 06. The Boats – Space Judder 07. Pye Corner Audio – Splice Block 08. Leyland Kirby – Slim Jim Wimshurst Mechanicals 09. Karen Gwyer – Judd Drums 10. Peter Rehberg – FJUDDmix 032013 11. Bandshell – Concrete Teeth 12. Ekoplekz – Fredwrek looks and sounds really good. everything this label has put out so far has been really interesting but that f.c. judd was a high water mark (together with the parry library compilation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caretstik Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Initially overlooked this. Now it's arrived I'm looking forward to giving it some time. Heard all too little from the label so far, to my shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caretstik Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 This is a great collection, especially the second record. Love the Pye Corner audio and Leyland Kirby pieces, and the fourth side is pretty intense. I must confess, I wasn't overly enamoured of the original FC Judd Public Information album when I first got it, but this album has made we want to dig it out again and give it its due.

Caretstik Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 No question that they did a good job with the Electronics Without Tears release, I'd certainly have no problems if they were to open up Delia's archives. And I originally stalled on the Parry compilation because of cashflow, relieved it's on their Bandcamp site so I think I'll invest in that after payday.
