Recorded by Pete Shelley in March 1974, two years before he co-founded Buzzcocks, it reveals an early fascination with experimental electronic music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile studying electronics in Bolton, Shelley built his own oscillator and recorded it on a two-track tape recorder. Echo and other effects transformed electronic tones, drones, feedback and noise into extended pieces with a raw, spontaneous quality, reflecting both the limitations and possibilities of his equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStill a teenager, Shelley was listening to Tangerine Dream, Cluster, Kraftwerk, Can and Faust. Their influence opened up a soundworld far removed from conventional mid-seventies rock and pop. Eventually released on his own Groovy Records label in April 1980, Sky Yen traces his electronic experimentation back to the beginning of his recording career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CD comes in a matt-laminate digipak with the original cover design by Pete Shelley and Malcolm Garrett.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSky Yen Part 1 (20:45)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSky Yen Part 2 (20:42)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"CARGO","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":67743012225341,"sku":"CSR383CD","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0096\/1884\/9839\/files\/peteshelley_skyyencsr383cd-1500.jpg?v=1792414778","url":"https:\/\/sisterray.co.uk\/products\/sky-yen","provider":"Sister Ray","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
