Glide

Glide may be the experimental, ambient-psychedelic aspect task from Echo & the Bunnymen guitarist Can Sergeant. His single work dates completely back again to 1978, prior to the formation from the Bunnymen, using a cassette-only discharge limited by seven copies known as Weird As Seafood (that was actually rediscovered within a studio at the start from the 2000s). Sergeant also released the soundtrack record Designs for Grind in 1982, which, just like the uncommon pre-Bunnymen record, sounds quite definitely akin to the task of Bowie/Eno as well as other German ambient innovators such as for example Cluster. Implementing the Glide moniker in 1997 using the discharge of Space Age group PANIC, Sergeant’s solo function in the ’90s and 2000s virtually accumulates where he still left off in the first 80s; expansive, psychedelic instrumentals structured around floating key pad and electronic noises. Functionality, a live record offering the 30-minute computer-composed “Frozen Teardrop in Space,” made an appearance in 1999 on Ochre Information (who released every one of the Glide albums and singles, and reissued Themes for Grind). The first 2000s noticed Sergeant performing some displays as Glide, occasionally as an starting action for the Bunnymen, and the looks of a favorably trippy band internet site bought at www.glide.cwc.net.
