'In all likelihood, none of the other big indie bands of 1991 would have started their record with 10 seconds of Moog, still then a borderline obscure modular synthesiser favoured by 1970s prog rock giants...' Ben Cardew on The Pivotal Role of ’s ‘Super-Electric’

A neate photo of Free Kitten now appears close to the start of a short film with Kim Gordon speaking about Gerhard Richter’s candle paintings. The film describes how the paintings came to feature on the cover of Sonic Youth’s Daydream Nation LP.

I/O3 - David Toop, Lawrence English & Scanner - at Sprawl, Farringdon, England 2003 © Greg Neate

Throwback neate photo of I/O3 (left to right - David Toop, Lawrence English & Robin Rimbaud). On a night in January they collaborated and performed an ambient work that would be called Entomologists.

I’ve displayed this print before at previous neate photos exhibitions and it remains on display at home but it wasn’t until recently that I knew that a recording was available . Link details shared below which also includes recollections from each of I/O3.

Posted to mark 25 years of Room 40 and a lifetime connection between our respective Australian fathers, Frank English & Arthur Neale, who first met some 60 years ago in London.

At there’s a new feature on 25 years of Room 40, as well as an historic written feature by me interviewing Lawrence English for those who wish to google search.
