1984 by The Flowerpot men
The Flowerpot Men - Ben Watkins (Juno Reactor) and Adam Peters - were an innovative British duo who released a series of EPs between 1984 and 1987. Their sound was a unique mix of swamp-ish rock’n’roll and ultra hard-edged European electronic music. Fiercely independent, their music combined raw electronics, treated acoustic instruments, and heavily amplified electric cello to create sound years ahead of its time. Musical outliers, The Flowerpot Men disbanded before ever completing an album and their three EPs have been out of print since the late 1980s.
