Eyeless In Gaza / CAUGHT IN FLUX

Inspired by a weird mixture between Aldous Huxley’s visionary work and some biblical myths, Eyeless in Gaza, (formed in 1980) are one of the most original and creative bands emerging from the early 80’s British post-punk scene. An intimate duo line up featuring Martyn Bates – vocals, guitar, organ, and Peter Becker – drums, bass, synth. “Caught in Flux” originally released in 1981 on Cherry Red and reissued here in its original format LP + 12″ is their second album. The result of a one-take studio session with no overdubs. A perfectly balanced combination of various elements arising from post-punk, art rock, ambient music, and psychedelia. This was an important step towards a form of music where all these influences were organically integrated into a highly purified sound experience.
