Dresden Piano
The band
The music that evaded a generation (several in fact), the music that even our mothers couldn't bring themselves to like, the music that no one wanted...
After 20 years of getting nowhere in the music business the sound that is Dresden Piano lurches onto the internet to be ignored by an even wider audience.
Although the era is best known for Punk and later the New Romantics there was a vast amount of experimental music from the likes of The Normal, Robert Rental, Thomas Lear and many others. This is where we came from. We rehearsed for days before going into the studio but unfortunately were seduced by all this nice gear and completely hashed the songs.
No one wanted to know and we never had enough money to release it on our label so it languished. But no more; here are the two studio sessions in all their glory. Enjoy (or perhaps suffer).
The songs
These songs are stereo MP3, 64Kbits and a bit large. The copyright is held by us, Peter Hickman, Matthew Sexton and John Nixon (first session only - of whome we have no pictures) from 1981.
'The long walk home' is my favourite and alot closer to what we were trying to actually do, before we saw all that cool gear in the studio and forgot it all.
Session #1: 25 march 1981
Session #2: 1 july 1981
The pictures
To be continued...
More dead than alive, but technically still going. We have our dream, we have our pride, we're just too dumb.
