These ultra heavy industrial metal tracks were recorded over two sessions at the iconic Maida Vale studios: 28th April 1991 and 30th March 1993 and were sourced directly from the BBC Archives (with thanks), with careful remastering for CD and vinyl. The 1991 session was recorded during the same period as "Industrial" (Deaf Records / Peaceville), with the 1993 session recorded around the time of "Desensitized" (Earache), with the massive EP "Submit" in between. "If you look on your PITCHSHIFTER albums you will see that we always credit John Peel. He was instrumental in getting the band out there and often played our music on the radio when no one else dared. The 'Peel Sessions' we did were a great honour and every time I met John he was always such a great guy... a legend" (JS). Founded in Nottingham in 1989, PITCHSHIFTER's early style was heavy industrial metal, being cited as one of the originators of the genre along with Godflesh - a style which they termed "Death Industrial". These sessions and albums mark the end of that classic period, before a shift towards the more commercial, beat-driven Industrial style from the mid-90's onward that they are still known for. • CD in matt-laminate 6-panel digipak. • Black heavyweight 180g vinyl in a matt-laminate sleeve. • Ltd 500 copies on White heavyweight 180g vinyl in matt-laminate sleeve. • Ltd 100 copies on Black & White swirl heavyweight 180g vinyl in matt-laminate sleeve (via Pitchshifter only). credits GRITTER, TENDRILL, DRY RISER INLET Recorded: 28 April 1991 Produced by Dale Griffin Engineered by Mike Engles, Dave McCarthy Studio: Maida Vale 3 First Broadcast: 25 May 1991 Repeated: 03 August 1991 J S Clayden (Vocals) M D Clayden (Bass) J Carter (Guitar) S Toolin (Guitar) (A HIGHER FORM OF) KILLING (RADIO PHUQUE EDIT), DIABLE (WAYCO SURVIVAL MIX), DECONSTRUCTION (RECONSTRUCTION) Recorded: 30 March 1993 Produced by Simon Askew Engineered by Simon Askew Studio: Maida Vale 4 First Broadcast: 01 May 1993 Repeated: 17 September 1993 J S Clayden (Vocals) J A Carter (Guitar, Programming) M D Clayden (Bass) D J Walters (Percussion) Special thanks to DE & FM Clayden Thanks to Dave Kirby Mastered by Martin Bowes | Graphic Design by Abby Helasdottir All tracks ℗ 2024 BBC © Cold Spring Records 2024 https://coldspring.bandcamp.com/album/peel-sessions-1991-93-csr344cd-lp
