Dylan Thomas by Thomas Bench + Dylan Nyoukis

A wet and windy night at the end of January saw the first teaming up of Bench/Nyoukis, opening for the Bohman Brothers at Brighton's Sallis Benney Theatre, what transpired was a set of focussed tape improvisations and electric whack! The following month the two took the crisp desk recording from that night and set about hacking it up and shaping it into whole new world of wonk. Side A contains Nyoukis's frantic cut-up, while the flip has Bench in full on bonkers mode.
