George Garside – "Oasis" (Integrated Circuit Records ICR16) 1984

The instructions on how to listen to this cassette use the immortal phrase, “….best listened to on headphones.”Betraying a barely concealed,or controlled ‘prog’ tendency. This is a good thing, because despite all the ‘Punk propaganda’ that has seared itself into the brains of even the most enlightened townies; Prog was the real anti-rock movement of the seventies. It had its rebirth in 1978, and rechristened itself ‘Post-Punk’, and it still perseveres to this day.
This bedroom based one man Tangerine Dream, conjures up an alternative soundtrack to ‘Blade Runner’ for us. If only he had a more exotic name, instead of salt of the earth George Garside from Leeds; if he called himself Dimitrius Dingleberry from the Maldives, for example,he’d have been making horrific albums with Jon Anderson from Yes, instead of these lush analogue soundscapes for Integrated Circuit Records.
all considering, this is a pretty good prog album that would have gone down a storm in 1974. Ten years too late George!
