MORE 'NEW' OLD RELEASES ON DOWNLOAD ONLY FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE.

KYOKO : 

'ONE;MINI / CO-INCIDENTAL MUSIC'. 

'PLAY QUIET'  & 

'UNPURE DISCO'

AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD (iTUNES & OTHER GOOD DOWNLOAD SITES) 

FROM MAY 10TH  2011

Between 1999 and 2002 Beatnik Filmstars were having time off, and three of them (John, Tom & 

Andrew)  formed KYOKO

A Slo-Fi / Lo-Fi band. They released three albums all of which sold poorly, many CD's were destroyed.

But with the magic of downloads, we offer you the chance to hear these lost gems...

The first two albums 'One : Mini' & 'Co-Incidental Music' (Woof 15) have been joined together as one long full length

The band's third & final album 'Unpure Disco' (Woof 13) is presented just as it was.

And various tracks from compilations and singles, as well as live recordings and unreleased tracks have 

been collected together to create a new album called 'Play Quiet' (Woof 12)

"If you give these songs the attention they  rightly deserve,  lay back and listen, you'll be

hopefully surprised. Sadly in a world that has no attention span longer than a few seconds, and  with 

everyone rushing around needing to listen to music on the go,  Kyoko honestly didn't stand a chance.

But for me personally, I feel some of the best songs I have ever been involved with making are to be

found on these records" (Andrew Arthur Jarrett)

SOME INFORMATION:

Formed in Bristol UK in 1986, The Groove Farm were a noise pop, indiepop, garage band.

Involved with the C86 indie scene that was at the time sweeping the nation.

Their first record was a very Lo-Fi affair, but it was well received and found a regular spot

on night time Radio One, thanks to both Janice Long & John Peel. Many singles followed

as well as a truely disappointing first LP. Money was tight, times were hard. the music was

recorded cheaply. The band played shows with many C86 favourites such as The Sea Urchins,

Talulah Gosh, The Flatmates, Rosehips, Fizzbombs, The Wedding Present, Brilliant Corners

and many, many more. They recorded 'Baby Blue Marine' for a shared Flexi disc with the Sea Urchins

which was sold with Kvatch Fanzine, made and sold by Clare Wadd who later co formed the wonderful

Sarah Records. The band released records on Raving Pop Blast! and also the Subway Organisation.

Many of the bands records climbed the UK's Indie charts, and songs like 'It Always Rains On Sunday',

'Surfin' Into Your Heart', 'Baby Blue Marine', 'Stop!', 'Heaven Is Blue' and the 'Plug' LP were taken to

the hearts of Indie Kids all over the world.

The band lasted through until 1990, and with the changes taking place in the music world, and

a desire to try experimenting with various musical sounds that the limitations of being The

Groove Farm caused, the band ended and out of the ashes like a rising phoenix (or slightly

charred sparrow) came Beatnik Filmstars.

Now 25 years on, we are happy to offer you this fantastic collection of all the very best songs

including some lesser known versions, and some subtle remixes, and many demos previously unheard!

All remastered by Rocker (The Flatmates / Rosehips/ Dandelion Radio) and sounding great.

Just needing to be played loud throughout the summer! What are you waiting for?
