Hanging on the door of the caravanette is a large brass knocker in the shape of Mike Love’s head. The legend etched in Latin around the edge reads, “The kids don’t dig ginger haired monks, why couldn’t you have been Charley Manson’s cousin instead”. It’s a bugger to clean.

Cathode had arrived at the caravan via Newcastle and Glasgow. Dressed in illuminated Tron pants they proceeded to spread out a veritable smorgasbord of IDM musical treats. A Hermetic but open sound of sonic ephemera over Prozac beats, it burrows its way into the listener’s head and starts to resemble its own identity.
We poled 100 people before the release just to be certain that we were doing everything by the book. All of them agreed that it sounded nothing like Lindisfarne.
The cathode have agreed to ‘cackle my gladys’ of anyone who sends back the coupon inside this latest release. So avoid making a complete dog nappy of yourself and invest now.

500 issue seven-inch vinyl record.

Past and Future
Cathode are a duo based in Newcastle and Glasgow this would have been their first release if Unbearable Recordings hadn’t included the bands re-mix of the NME fancied “Gamers in Exile” track “electro-mayhem” on their Jan 2001 XFM album of the month “Unbearable Candies”. Future plans are a whole album in the key C# and maybe an “eye of the duck” show, if we can get Budgie and Steam Hammer to play as well.

CODY
Oh! Did we mention that _cathode share some members with electronic pop group “Cody” whose debut album “Stillpoint Primer” is currently the toast of Static Brother John Peel and Muzik magazine. You may have also noticed that the boys are running a name loan website. As after Mogwai rented out Cody for some project or other, Otomo Yashihide nipped in the other week for a short-term loan of “cathode”. Humm.
