about

In this debut record from ‘The British Stereo Collective’, Phil Heeks delivers a stunning homage to ‘70s BBC LPs and vintage soundtrack compilations. Now hugely expanded for CD, the album’s original 20 tracks are enhanced and complemented by a further 16 tracks, featuring new compositions, remixes and radical re-workings of many of the tracks from the original album.

Mystery Fields’ album cover has the look and feel of a BBC Radiophonic Workshop release, but the record itself is a wider nod to various TV theme compilations that Phil grew up with in the 1970s and early 1980s, including the classic Geoff Love releases and the BBC Themes and Sound Effects albums. What comes across most is the love and affection for the period, beautifully recreated in the meticulous detail of the album artwork and the effortless precision with which the tracks are composed, arranged, produced and sequenced.

Says Phil, “After revisiting the 1979 conclusion to the Quatermass saga on Blu-Ray in October 2019, I was hugely inspired by its music and atmosphere and embarked on creating a specific brand of retro electronica under the guise of ‘The British Stereo Collective’.

“The album is my homage to a beloved era of classic TV themes, ‘space music’ and library LPs, inspired by the combined influences of Evangelos Papathanassiou, Jeff Wayne, Peter Howell, Mike Oldfield, Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Barry Gray, Ennio Morricone, John Barry, Francis Monkman, Brian Bennett, Paddy Kingsland and countless others.”

Newly presented in a beautiful deluxe hardback book and featuring a greatly-expanded 16-page ‘Radio Times’-referencing booklet, the album works as a complete and aesthetically gorgeous time capsule for those of you who are perennially nostalgic for the golden age of Sunday afternoon TV and your uncle’s Vangelis and Hi-Fi stereo albums.

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

This is very close to what I heard/felt everytime we visited the grandparents in Runcorn. Ominous dread. Bleak dystopia. Concrete and terraced houses. Plus the air smells! MonkeyMajiks
