Startled Insects - Glass Mountain

from Curse of the Pheromones.

Startled Insects began around 1983 in Bristol, England as a collective of three talented producers/multi-instrumentalists, Tim Norfolk, Bob Locke and Richard Grassby-Lewis. Very little information has ever been published about the band -- the participants' names did not appear on any of the album sleeves, nor were any pictures ever published. Nevertheless the band managed to generate considerable excitement with their first self-published EP and single, enough that Island Records signed them to their new Antilles New Directions label. Their first album for Island, Curse of the Pheromones (1987), was an underground hit, and the group performed several well-received multi-media tours.

I absolutely LOVE Startled Insects. Two of my "desert island" CDs are of their music; Lifepulse and Curse Of The Pheromones (lovingly transcribed / de-crackled from vinyl !) "Underworld" is one of my favourite pieces of all time...I've done a 'psy-trance' cover of it but it's not a patch on the original.
