Release Notes:
--------------
Minimal Wave label

WeÆre happy to present Smile With The Eyes: a double LP of selections of
unreleased material from the prolific outsider / underground duo Five Times Of
Dust. Formed in 1980 in Bristol, Mark Phillips (MAP) and Robert Lawrence came
together with a shared passion for Krautrock, Industrial Electronics and the
burgeoning DIY tape scene, as well as being influence by the Dadaist movement
and the works of Burroughs and Ballard. Unconventional, quirky and at times
melancholic and romantic, their music acted as the perfect escape from the urban
decay of early 80s Bristol and Cardiff, the two cities they travelled between on
weekends to record. Although unashamedly electronic, the sound of Five Time Of
Dust is far harder to pin down, perhaps in part due to their location. Both
Phillips and Lawrence produced music that owed little to any scene happening in
London, Manchester or Sheffield at the time. As a result, the majority of their
output are perfectly formed electronic curiosities.

The material on Smile With The Eyes spans recordings Lawrence and Phillips made
between 1982-1986. As a follow up to The Dadacomputer, their debut cassette
release as a duo which we reissued earlier this year, Smile With The Eyes
remains lo-fi but is musically more complex. The recordings are catchy, curious
and emotionally rich. Whereas The Dadacomputer could be compared with the early
output of Robert Rental, Smile With The Eyes is a collection of works that
stands all on its own.
