Seeland Was Formed By Tim Felton Ex Broadcast And Billy Bainbridge Ex Plone In The Winter Of 2004/05 Amid The Fallout From Birmingham’s ‘Retro Futurist Electronic Scene’ – A Group Of Musicians And Artists Inspired By Space Age Pop The BBC Radiophonic Workshop Joe Meek And Eccentric 60’s Library Music.

Often A Phrase Or Melody Floats By Reminding The Listener Of Some Lost Musical Gem And Yet All The While The Listener Is Immersed In Seeland’s Strange But Familiar Soundworld. read less
