2024 US Import album ... with RMI's music, you have to think ... TANGERINE DREAM, Klaus Schulze, ASHRA / Manuel Göttsching and PINK FLOYD!

‘Galactic Furnace’ was made over the course of a week, in the middle of summer, in beautiful North Yorkshire. The trio inhabited a cottage space that was very kindly loaned to them by a good friend and unlike many recording environments; it was extremely pleasant with plenty of natural light and air.
As is their wont, they 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 they had made, certain images and pictures arrived unconsciously, there was a loose visual impression created. Whilst they never set out to paint literal sound pictures, or describe specific images, the music suggested these things to the band 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 their ‘Anthem To The Sun’.

RMI line-up: Steve Dinsdale (keyboards / electronics / drums), Duncan Goddard (keyboards / electronics / bass) and Gary Houghton (guitar / keyboards)
Steve, Duncan and Gary began playing together, along with other friends, as 16-year old students in England. 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.

Their 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 bands many 'D.I.Y' releases, they have had a long relationship with Cuneiform Records in the US, stretching back to 2005. ‘Galactic Furnace’ is the group's 4th collaboration with the label.

‘Galactic Furnace’ is released 25th October 2024.
