Bates, Martyn
Letters To A Scattered Family
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1990 Belgian Original With Custom Insert. Glossy, Unplayed Condition. “Before, During, And After His Partnership With Peter Becker In The Early-'80s Pop Duo Eyeless In Gaza, Martyn Bates Pursued A Widely Varied Solo Career That Ranged From Industrial Noise To Pop Balladry To Traditional British Folk Music, And By The Late '90s, Into A Blend Of Ambient And Post-Minimalist Modern Classical Music. Throughout It All, Bates Has Maintained A Taste For Experimentalism That Only Rarely Overshadows The Accessibility Of His Music. ….Two Albums Released In 1990, Letters To A Scattered Family And Stars Come Trembling, Show An Increased Interest In Quiet, Almost Ambient Soundscapes Not Far Removed From David Sylvian's Post-Japan Work.” Stewart Mason, AMG.
