B.E.F. - Music For Stowaways

The first reissue of seminal early 1980's electronic recordings from the British Electric Foundation (B.E.F.), featuring Heaven 17 / ex-The Human League's Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh, with Adi Newton (Clock DVA) and John Wilson. 

Its initial release in March 1981 was a limited edition numbered eight song cassette entitled 'Music for Stowaways', with 'Stowaways' being a reference to the original name for the then-new Sony portable cassette player - later renamed the Walkman - of which B.E.F. were great fans. 'Music for Stowaways' was intended to be listened to on such a device. The cassette was followed by a seven song LP, 'Music For Listening To', which had a slightly different tracklisting, while other B.E.F. music was utilised for B-sides of early singles by Heaven 17.

Available in CD and LP Vinyl formats.

B.E.F. - Music For Stowaways is released Friday, 21st April 2023 and is available to pre-order now.

Depeche Mode are back! Martin Gore and Dave Gahan's first new music since the sudden 2022 passing of bandmate Andy Fletcher with the song Ghosts Again is a poignant paean to loss and hope.

Featuring a tradermark Martin Gore guitar hook and Dave Gahan croon, it's a track the Essex icons are proud to return with. “It’s not often that we record a song that I just don’t get sick of listening to", said Dave Gahan. "I’m excited to be able to share it”.
