Album Description
ZTT Records presents Andrew Poppy on Zang Tumb Tuum, a 3 CD box set compiling classic recordings, unreleased and rare material commemorating the 20th anniversary of Poppy's period with the label. One of the UK's leading contemporary composers, Poppy arrived at ZTT in 1984 having studied under John Cage and founded the avant-garde collective The Lost Jockey (Crepsecule/Operation Twilight). e went on to successfully straddle two worlds: orchestral compositions on one hand; left field pop collaborations (Psychic TV, Coil, Nitzer Ebb) on the other. Highlights of the box set include Cadenza, a 14-minute recording of Poppy's breakthrough composition; The Impossible Net, which places him squarely at the recent convergence between classical and electronics; Kink Kong Adagio - industrial downtempo from before the genre was so named; Inside The Wolf, Poppy's theme for Channel 4's The Tube; The Passage, a completely unreleased and mesmerising suite from Poppy's very last session for ZTT.
