The Grid' - Mr David Ball: One man band of pioneering electro-pop distorters Soft Cell, part time Psychic TV personality, film soundtrack composer and all round synth afficionado & Richard Norris: eclectic beat-meister & ambient DJ, record producer, commited psychedelicist from `Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve'. The 1990's saw worldwide commercial success as The Grid Scored 10 uk chart hits. In 1996 The Grid went on a holiday and they didn't return till 2005. In 2015 The Moog Sound Lab UK, an open loan studio from Moog Music Inc (USA) designed to encourage the making of new electronic works, was established to mark the 10th anniversary of Dr Robert Moog's passing. The portable studio was specially designed by Moog Inc and is centred around one of their rarest instruments, the 2014 limited edition reissue of their legendary 1960s System 55 analogue synthesiser system - the Stradivarius of modular synths. As well as the System 55, The Moog Sound Lab UK also features six portable inter-changeable full sized racks of the latest Moog instruments & processors (Moogerfoogers, Mother 32's, Voyagers and more) plus stand-alone Moog keyboard based synths and an extremely rare vintage foot pedal operated Taurus bass synth - a prog-rock classic! In the initial week of The Moog Sound-Lab in early 2015 Dave & Richard a.k.a. The Grid created this benchmark album of deluxe `tronic trax that showcased their prarie wide knowledge of electronica & their ocean deep skills as both technicians & original soundscapers - Kraftwerk-Ian werk-outs, space noise jams, and slinky grooves with subtle pop-tones.
