atari001 another wonderful piece of electronica from WRNTDP. The 1973 version is particularly ethereal.

about

The first transmission from forthcoming Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan's new album, "Your Community Hub"

"A Shared Sense of Purpose" looks at the small community centres that helped Runcorn become a five minute city, long before the current discussion about fifteen minute cities. The idea that the larger town would be divided into smaller centres, each with a set of facilities at the heart, and designed to be within five minutes walk of anyone’s front door. It looks at the facilities that were at the heart of these centres - a post office, bank, shops, GP surgery, school - and mourns the loss of these as funding was cut and services privatised.

The lead single from the album, "Your Community Hub" is released in this 12” vinyl version and there is a 7" radio edit incoming. Both versions accompanied by an exclusive remix from the Godfather of New Town Synthology, Vince Clarke, to whom we are indebted.

This is as good as the officially released WRNTDP titles on CIS. Very pleased to pick it up, where the pieces here are longer than most on the records they benefit from the slow unwinding they are afforded. The 18 minute live set excerpt is particularly immersive. Wouldn't be the worst idea in the world to release this on vinyl as a companion to the inevitable repressing of This Nation's Most Central Location. Great stuff. Oh and you get a cool magazine to read as well. Awesome. shaun rogan

Fascinating chat with Mr. Concretism. Great to hear about his synths and software and the track by track analysis of The Concretism Archive vol.1 adds to the listening experience - more of that sort of thing please! Infinite Tapes

Great album, love the dreamy nostalgic spacey-ness. The old educational samples transport me back to early school days in the TV room and when all we had to worry about was if we were wearing the right trainers or swapping Panini football stickers. vsep13
