Next up on Aris is a particularly special one – Ireland’s first electronic music 12″- Carrier Frequency’s Telecaster Man, a particularly Irish take on the acid house sounds of the late 80’s, that still does the job 35 years later. “A nine minute tune with two chords, it’s just f-ckin’ madness mostly – distortion and drum machines.” simply put by one of the artist himself, but it’s much more really. The record originally released in 1989 was a collaborative effort featuring the talents of Mr. Spring, Leo O’Kelly of 70’s folk heroes Tir Na nOg, and Trevor Knight of 80s synth pop band Auto Da Fe, Mr. Spring, a veteran of pirate radio since his early teens and the local go to studio guy for dreamers and the Depeche Mode and Talk Talk clones of the time, spearheaded the project. Drawing from his extensive experience and technical prowess, Spring had already established his own studio in 1987, equipped with state-of-the-art gear including an Atari sequencer and an Akai s900 sampler. Joining Spring in this creative endeavor were Leo O’Kelly and Trevor Knight, both esteemed musicians with diverse backgrounds. O’Kelly, known for his pioneering work with 70s folk outfit Tir Na nog, brought his unique blend of folk and electronic influences to the table and Knight, a seasoned performer with roots in jazz fusion and new wave. Spring had met them while Djing before one of their gigs and was immediately taken with Telecaster Man.
They decided to work together on it as Spring says “We wanted to get a Cabaret Voltaire sound to it and have a bit of fun.” Fueled by a shared passion for experimentation and sonic exploration and inspired by the dynamic energy of the club scene and the rapidly evolving sounds of electronic music, the late-night recording sessions in Spring’s studio characterized by spontaneity and innovation. The result of their collaboration was “Telecaster Man,” a nine-minute tour de force combining distorted guitars, hypnotic rhythms, and pulsating synthesizers. The 12 inch comes with the original and Sinewave mixes plus a new Mr. Spring remix from the original multi tracks rounding it out with the replication remix and a bonus acapella. Full colour sleeve and comes with extended liner notes.
