Time Shard

Timeshard was formed in 1988 by the, three members Gobber, Sim and Dream Angstrom. Involved in the free party scene in the late 80's/early90's they played psychedelic electronic music, some of which was danceable. They used to do loads of gigs all over the show, i.e. Megadog, Whirl-Y-Gig, Megatripolis, HerbalT in Manchester, Bubble Club in Brum, etc etc etc. Now they do less frequent live shows (next up in Liverpool in April 2000).

Released 1998 on Nebula Entertainment Organism.
