Release Notes:
--------------
Going back to the early dawn of the new wave and punk movements, Mark
Lane began his electronic music and tape splicing experiments in 1980.
His first release in 1981 was a vinyl 7ö entitled ôLove is So
Aggravating.ö Although it was well received, it was the release of his
1984 mini-LP entitled "Who's Really Listening?" that garnered him
critical acclaim and cemented his place historically as one of the
early pioneers of gothic industrial minimal electronic synthpop. Tracks
like Sojourn and White Glove still rank very high among djs and
aficionados of this era and have become standards of the genre.
During 1985 Mr. Lane made a short tour of the Netherlands with the
founding members of the Klinik who were then touring their first
record. Those shows and their recordings are still remembered as an
innovative and important chapter in the history of the Belgian
electronic music scene.
Additionally Lane collaborated with a large number of European
musicians of the era including Martin Bowes of Attrition, Andy
Szava-Kovats of Data-Bank-A, Guy Van Miegan of Vomito Negro, Richard
Van Dellen of De Fabriek, Peter Van Vliet of Mekanik Kommando, Conrad
Schnitzler of Tangerine Dream and Kluster, and many more.
In the mid 90's Mark Lane released two CD-EPs Black Lipstick and Shadow
Merger which in essence are sister recordings that link his past work
to the present. Now at the height of his ardent analogue minimal wave
style he celebrates his 25th music anniversary with three new releases,
and continues to produce electronic music through a third decade.
