Recharge

ltm present a comprehensive programme of cd reissues by biting tongues, the post-punk avant-funkers from manchester who recorded for cult labels including factory, new hormones and cut deep. the three cds include 'compressed', their collected works for factory between 1985 and 1987, 'recharge', the dance / electronica album recorded in 1988 by graham massey in tandem with quadrastate by 808 state, and 'after the click' a comprehensive career overview. 'recharge' is the tongue's legendary lost album recorded in late 1988, by which time the band had been reduced to a duo of graham massey and howard walmsley. at the same time and place, massey was also recording the second 808 state album 'quadrastate', resulting in a degree of overlap. yet whereas 808 state went on to conquer the charts, the adventurous dance and electronica cut for 'recharge' found itself out of step with early club culture, while having all the dna of a future about to be unravelled. the booklet contains full recording information.
