Random, Eric
A Boy Alone
We are honored to release 'A Boy Alone', a double LP set from Manchester electronic music pioneer Eric Random. Best
known for his early recordings for New Hormones and Les Disques du Crépuscule and collaborations with Pete Shelley
(Buzzcocks), Cabaret Voltaire and Nico. As an original member of The Tiller Boys with Shelley, Random injected a healthy
dose of Krautrock into the dour Manchester post-punk scene in 1978/79 before going solo the following year. Random's
first 7" "Subliminal"/"23 Skidoo" was released in 1981 via Les Disques du Crépuscule and explored ominous sonic
surrounds. That same year also saw the release of a second 7" single on New Hormones, "Dow Chemical Company"/ "Skin
Deep". Both tracks offered bubbling, rhythmic sound patterns, and were the first to feature other musicians that would
become know as The Bedlamites.
