Bron Area was a British duo formed in 1979 in Nuneaton in England. Originally the group consisted of Martin Packwood and Steven Parker who had been involved in a number of bands before starting Bron Area. Steven had been playing piano for 4 years and sang in a punk band Addix through '77. Martin had played 'My Way' to drunks in social clubs on the organ for some time. They recorded their debut cassette album for Ambivalent Scale Recordings in 1980 with the title 'One Year'. The album featured experimental sound mixing raw electronic collages with post punk sound. The band's first official Single EP 'Fragile Sentences' was released in 1981 with the wonderful 'Green Avenue' as a b-side. David Barker of 'Glass Records' approached the band after having heard 2 songs from the Alternative Sounds fanzines compilation tape Facet 1 and asked them to appear on his 'Wonderful World of Glass Vol. 1 LP'. Bron Area were signed to 'Glass' at the beginning of 1982. The first vinyl was a 12\" Ep entitled 'Different Phrases' released in March '82 and later released as a 7\" on 'Posh Boy Records' in the USA. With the release of their second record few more musicians were recruited which changed their music and gave the their following LP 'The Trees and the Villages' which appeared in 1982 a fresh new sound. The founding members of Bron Area Martin Packwood and Steven Parker both released new material after the split of Bron Area. Steven Parker recorded another cassette album with Kevin Harrison in the same year, while Martin Packwood was credited for playing bass on Martyn Ware's solo LP released in 1987.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glass Records Redux","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50493572415819,"sku":"397358","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/309ad2ef-686b-42ac-9487-059c0e56709c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727698950"},{"product_id":"the-initial-caress","title":"The Initial Caress","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt the turn of the eighties the real new romantics weren't to be found in the puppy parade that was Rusty Egan's London Blitz scene but in the modernistic uniformity of the concrete towns of the Midlands.

He initially broke cover collaborating with Richard Youngs in their progressive rock group project Ilk. Following their second album 'Canticle' (VHF, 2005), he became particularly prolific, releasing many collaborative titles both with Youngs and with fellow Glasgow resident Caroline McKenzie as well as several solo titles. He founded his own Sonic Oyster Records in 2006 to release much of his work and co-founded the progressive kraut-rock power trio, Space Weather. Current duties extend to bass guitar with punk trio 'The Flexibles' , one half of theosophical thinkers 'The Blue Tree', with long-time collaborator, Matthew Shaw (Tex La Homa), and co-founder of Turds of the Reformation. 'Sky Movers Must Fight On' is his first release for Glass Redux. Its short-sharp futuristic bursts capture Paine monologuing to the electronic horizon. Dada with beats. Mixed by Reuben Bough.

It was strange and I liked it. The full sequence of events are lost in the mists of time but basically I asked them if they wanted to make a record, they said yes and, after a trip up to Northampton to meet them and see them play a gig, I got them down to Ciaran's flat in Poplar, East London to record it.

We had no real distribution, just word of mouth, selling directly to shops like Small Wonder, Rough Trade, Red Rhino up in York. You could do that back then. People were interested. I remember Geoff Travis himself ringing me from Rough Trade to order 100 more each of the Religious Overdose and Ciaran Harte releases. It felt like we were part of something.
