Three outtakes from the recording sessions for Swimming In Thunderstorms, the current album of the band around John Watts from 2019. Now available for the first time.
Four re-releases of the postpunk band around singer Adrian Borland, which unfortunately was always a little overshadowed by Killing Joke, Joy Division or The Cure. The highly acclaimed debut 'Jeopardy' was produced on a minimal budget at the Korova record label and was released in 1980. The successor was even more successful and was based on Joy Division, Echo & The Bunnymen or The Cure. The band later switched to Statik Records where 'Shock Of Delight' (mini-album), 'Head And Hearts' and the live double album 'In The Hothouse' were released. All three albums are released as 140 gr. LP with printed inner sleeves and in clear vinyl! They are supplemented by 'Propaganda', a collection of home recordings that were made before the debut and were first published in 1999.
Even if their time together as a band was short-lived, Pylon made a lasting contribution to the development of the post-punk and art-rock scene in the early 80s. Artists like REM, Gang of Four, Sonic Youth and many others name the band as inspiration. The second album by the band from Athens, GA, released in 1983, is now finally available again, freshly remastered from the original tapes.
