General Strike

Danger In Paradise (1984) ...

David Toop and Steve Beresford released this cassette album on Touch, TO:02 in 1984...
"As General Strike, the duo crafted elaborated miniatures from dub-like bass-lines, exotic keyboards and toy instruments, throwing in many references to dub, film music, Riuychi Sakamoto’s neo-classicism (on #3 Next Day), Sun Ra on 3 covers (where Lol Coxhill contributes saxophone). The Sun Ra covers are minimalist and playful – the Shy Ones play Fire Music, sort of. ... Jon Wozencroft and Panni Charrington designed the booklet in a decidedly Cold War mood which is a little puzzling compared to the music but adds another dimension to the tracks." ...
