After several years of various combinations, in 1993 they began working together in this trio format and began calling themselves 'Radio Massacre International'. After amassing a number of recordings that they were happy with, the group released their first CD in 1996 and also began playing shows and electronic music festivals. Throughout the 90s, the group released many CDs and toured much of western Europe. They have also appeared in the USA six separate times, beginning in 2002.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTheir music is largely improvised and performed live, without overdubs, gathering shape via post-recording editing. Their discography, which includes many BandCamp-only releases, is quite extensive. But in addition to the band's many 'd.i.y' releases, they have had a long relationship with Cuneiform, stretching back to 2005. \u003cem\u003eGalactic Furnace\u003c\/em\u003e is the group's fourth collaboration with Cuneiform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Galactic Furnace was made over the course of a week, in the middle of summer, in beautiful North Yorkshire. We inhabited a cottage space which was very kindly loaned to us by a good friend and unlike many recording environments, it was extremely pleasant with plenty of natural light and air. As is our wont, we always keep a live microphone somewhere in the mix and this one was outside on the decking pointing towards woodland and good old Yorkshire countryside. When assimilating the music we have made, certain images and pictures arrive unconsciously, there is a loose visual impression created. Whilst we never set out to paint literal sound pictures, or describe specific images, the music suggests these things to us afterwards. Certain sections of this music seemed to convey a vast turbulent cosmic fire, while others a peaceful sunlit place. You could maybe say this is our 'Anthem To The Sun'.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRIYL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Ashra \/ Manuel Göttsching, Pink Floyd.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cuneiform","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50382131659083,"sku":"2222097","price":36.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_4f8c2a89_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726242820","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/galactic-furnace","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
