The Interstellar Cementmixers

Experimental synthesizer duo from Nottingham, England, formed on August 11th 1987, by the ever present line up of Richard (Rich) Collins and Stephen (Dump) Martin. Late 1989 was a period of Lo-Fi straight to cassette experiments in chaos, followed by two years of slightly more organised and slightly less chaotic 4-track recordings, that led to a synth-ambient side project under the name Warped Dust to emerge. From 1993 - 1998 Interstellar Cementmixers still on cassette, produced several Warped Dust style albums. Some of these cassettes featured reviews in AUDION magazine and by Andy G at C&D Services, which led to sales figures doubling. Cell Block Z released in 1997 satisfied the early experimental leanings, which led to the final cassette album Catacomb Discord which released in 1998. 1999 was the start of the Interstellar Cementmixers transition to CD which led them to release another 5 albums. Accessibility to digital recording facilities in 2011 led them to release Submerged Reality, followed by a number of remastered albums from Auricle in 2017.
