PACIFIC 231 - '1983-86 Compendium' 2 x CD (Functional / Tesco Organisation)
Pacific 231 has been active since 1981, with the first wave of Industrial / Power Electronics music. This 2CD Compendium is a selective collection of early 80's Pacific 231 works. More than 48 hours of recordings from reel-to-reel tapes has been unveiled and carefully converted to recover two hours worth of material. The production has been split in two parts as the 1st CD is Studio and the 2nd is Live. As a matter of interest, for fans of the debut LP "Unusual Perversions", a good percentage of the archives are c.1984 and unreleased. A concise, yet comprehensive compilation of a body of knowledge, which may summarize a larger work. Specially printed gatefold digifile.
