blue random are no more. but they were an experiment in intensity, a sort of techno-jazz with a trance edge. "intriguing and seductive, often quite angular, mood music for anyone who likes boards of canada or layo and bushwacka" - gordon connell. blue random formed when tim cooke met john corton on his narrowboat in todmorden, lancashire for sessions in acupuncture and chinese medicine. tim comes from a background of scoring and producing music for channel 4 documentaries (as well as playing in mcr bands 15% pus and error 5) whilst john layers jazz guitar on a fusional 70s rock style (think dave gilmour or angus young maybe) and plays with stockport outfit combo nangi. animator and solo performer (as well as 15% pus front man) tam hinton does his own non-lyrical thing (cf subliminal chunterings on 03, demented ranting on 05 and inchoate utterances on way out).
