ATF informally began in 1989 as a series of basement recordings made between Lloyd and friends. ATF's self titled debut was later released on cassette in 1991 on Manna, a recording label founded by Caroline Davenport and Dale Lloyd which operated from 1990 to 1992. The first ATF release featured contributions from members of My Diva, Sage, Sky Cries Mary, The Blackouts, Biota, Forever And A Day, Agra Mecca, Control Freak, Maxine, Vertigo Bus, and Sound Color. In 1993, Clark Von Trotha and Lloyd formed the æ label and in 1995 the first ATF release was reissued, remixed and remastered on CD with newly recorded tracks replacing some of the original ones. Following the success and warm reception of the first release, in 1996 work began on a second ATF entitled "After The Flood 2" which featured ontributions from members of Cindytalk, Bowery Electric, Windy & Carl, Labradford, Climax Golden Twins, Lucid, My Diva, and artists Cyndia Pickering who (later changed her name to Sylvi Alli), Marc Olsen (Sage, Sky Cries Mary), Warren Defever (His Name Is Alive), Mark Holt (later changed name to Mark Wand - Sound Color, Trick Deck), Maxine and Steve Ball (League Of Crafty Guitarists). ▲ ...

South's self-titled debut is one part mood-music for the masses. For bookworms, it is an exegesis on the great ambient-rock moments of the 20th century. Some would call it the soundtrack to vacancy. Repetition has never been so substantial. Incorporating such things as tightly wound loops and arpeggiation into their music, South redefines these devices through songwriting and orchestration to arrive at something that is intricate but simplistic in tone. Aside from the sweeping sounds of the keyboard, everything is done organically. It is when other instruments are added and time signatures are layered that South's sound is discovered. South are three well-heeled souls from Richmond, Virginia: Patrick Phelan and Nathan Lambdin, the principle songwriters, and Tod Parkhill, who contributes drum parts. They are joined on-stage by a larger supporting cast which has grown with their music: most often Bryan Hoffa on bass, Jess Bittner on vibraphone, Peter Neff (a Pan American and Labradford contributor) on hammmered dulcimer, and either Via Nuon (Drunk, Bevel) or Rick Alverson (Drunk, Spokane) on keyboard. - SC Distribution

ギター/ヴォーカル担当のGraham Sutton（グラハム・サットン）を中心に、86年に東ロンドンで結成されたグループBark Psychosis（バーク・サイコシス）の初作。空間性を重視したダウントーンなバンド・アンサンブルで、David Sylvian〜Talk Talk/Malk Holis〜Dif Juz系統の物憂げなインテリジェンスを90年代にアップデート。蒼白い炎熱を内に秘め、夢想的なアンビエンスと緊張感を並存させた作風は、後にベッドルーム音響派やポスト・ハードコア勢を交え隆盛するポストロックやスロウコアの雛形に。2012年にスペインのViNiLiSSSiMOによりヴァイナルでリイシュー。 bio. Bark Psychosis gave the world Post-Rock. Formed in 1986, when the members were about only 14, they took from experimental innovators such as Sonic Youth and Joy Division, they soon created a revolution with their ambient soundscapes and textured rock, spawning countless bands of similar nature. The band at this time was bassist John Ling, drummer Mark Simnott and vocalist Graham Sutton. "Clawhammer" was soon released in 1988. Their first single was released in 1989; "All Different Things", and then "Nothing Feels in 1990". Soon after picking up former DISCO INFERNO keyboardist Daniel Gish, the Manman EP was released, each release showing huge growth in their sound. "Scum" was soon released in 1992, soon followed by the revolutionary "Hex", where post-rock was founded. Soon after, the band released a final single and then broke up in 1997, compilations following. - www.progarchives.com
