Metronomes, The
Time Keeping (1979-1985)
Black Friday 2014 releases, limited to 300 copies for the US market! Melbourne has a new record label, NICE:NOISE:
dedicated to up-heaving Australia's backyards, draining the suburban pools & scouring the cupboards of our cities share
houses past & present to bring you the best in electronic squelches, squeals, analogue hums & various fodder. NICE:NOISE
is a sub-imprint of Dual Planet and will be a label focused on 1980s Post Punk electronics and Minimal Synth from
Australia. A collaborative project curated together with Kate Reid from It Records & Jenny Branagan from NUN . Taking
our name from the Philip Brophy/Tsk Tsk Tsk track where minimalism and pop collide head on, we'll be delving deep to
explore the unknown recordings of this incredible scene.
NICE:NOISE in collaboration with It Records is proud to present our first title, a compilation from the legendary
Melbourne Minimal Wave trio The Metronomes. Forming in 1979 and releasing two singles and two studio albums for
Cleopatra Records (Cybotron/Tolley & Dara), Time Keeping is a hand picked selection of loose post-punk fragmentations
and seamlessly welded circuits by these Australian electronic auteurs.
