Just noticed a strong hint on the alias Martin Tressider today. If you examine the sleevenotes for the original 12" release of AFX - Analogue Bubblebath vol.3 (picture here at Discogs), you'll notice a very interesting text:

"Places of interest in Cornwall:
Porthoustock Quarry - The deserted home of the fabelled pirate, Martin Trezidder. Some say that his screams can still be heard on the cliffs at full moon."

After this solid clue, I can only conclude that Martin Tressider is definitely an alias for Richard D. James.

Imagine yourself living in the retro-futuristic world portrayed in Terry Gilliam's 1985-movie "Brazil". Now, imagine Plone living there, composing masterpieces of moody scores for the "Brazil"-equivalent to our 60's and 70's detective series like "The Avengers" and "The Persuaders"...

Brings me glimpses of how an all electronic "Broadcast" (also on Warp) would sound like. Melancholic bliss!

This is one of the best albums in my record collection, no matter what genre we're speaking of. It was a revelation for my ears when it was released in 1994, with its breathtaking blend of drum machines, guitar loops, scary synths, deep bass and chorus-drenched vocal parts. This was my alternative soundtrack to the classic game Quake, as it prefectly blended with the blood-dripping and gothic setting of this game. I recommend this highly to anyone ready to explore an angst-ridden, dub-filled universe. A record to relax and go numb inside to!
