The player above is linking through to Discus Music's Bandcamp site. We love Bandcamp for its player and download delivery - but we prefer you to return here and buy direct from our main website!  If you decide to buy PLEASE use the Add To Basket button above not the buy link in the player.

Here's why – 

1 - It could cost you less. Depending on where you live and the product you choose, Bandcamp can add 20% VAT to the basic price.

2 - If you spend more than £25 here, you get a 30% discount on the extra spent.  That discount isn't available on Bandcamp.

3 - Discus pays 15% commission on the Bandcamp price, which means we receive less cash to plough back into our new releases.

4 - You’ll still be able to access your music through your Bandcamp collection even when you buy direct from Discus.

Description


What's that sneaking around the corner? Is it the rising tide of social unrestbehind the iron curtain? Is it the march of PCs into offices and the click-clackexit of staff from typing pools? No, it's Feetpackets! In 1989 this band of 14 improvisersbased in or near Sheffield had, under Mick Beck's leadership, a full and frankdevelopmental experience of musical composition and structure combined with freeindividual expression. Touring England three times in the period 1988 to 1990, themusic of the band stamped itself indelibly in the memories of many improvised music fans.Mick still finds people at his current gigs who hark back to Feetpackets at London'sSeven Dials or the Outside In festival at Crawley. This CD (made at a time when no-one else in the band owned a CD player) was recorded to capture some of itsideas, their uniqueness at the time in the UK (possibly Europe), and the energyof its performance.It is historical and in places very moving. It contains pieces by six of the band,and has a wealth of compositional ideas.
