B2 – Bandshell remix
Ike Yard came into being as No Wave passed on, Industrial was in the air and 'proto techno' had yet to be coined. Propulsive, paranoid, aggressive electro minimalism, with as much attention paid to the mixing board and effects processors as to vocals, guitar and synth. At once starker and more fully-formed than virtually all other contemporaneous post-punk music. desire's 2012 edition represents the first ever vinyl reissue of this classic, prophetic album.
The line-up for the third remix EP includes a great deal of diverse music. It starts with Powell (Diagonal Records) doing a great beat-driven rework of Half A God. It has been mastered by Matt Colton @ Alchemy Mastering. The A side is closing with The KVB doing a post-punk rendition of Cherish 8. Cherish 8 is also remixed on the B side by Vessel of Tri Angle/ Young Echo fame. The last remix (of NCR) is signed by UK enigmatic industrial/dubstep Bandshell.
Ike Yard was originally a quartet comprising Michael Diekmann, Stuart Argabright, Kenneth Compton and Fred Szymanski. The group are active again after a 28 year hiatus, sans Szymanski; their most recent album is 2011's Nord and they are currently working on a final album.

Peek-A-Boo received some sad news today. We'll let the band explain it themselves....
Hello everybody!
There are sad news came in this time, unfortunately. Alexey Protasov (AMBASSADOR21, SUICIDE INSIDE) has been diagnosed with throat cancer.
Since already more than one month we knew it, now we can tell about it to our friends and fans.
We have a very big hope for the forthcoming operation (it scheduled for December 2nd in Warsaw), there is a big chance it could be helpful, because diagnosis was made on quite early phase. And we hope Alexey will be able to speak and sing soon. :)
It's hard time, but we believe we have enough strength and luck to pass through it. This time we just want to tell you we need your help and support, it will be very appreciated. If you want to support us, you can buy any digital stuff or CDs, or t-shirts on our Bandcamp.
Here is also our PayPal: a21@ambassador21.com
We have enough energy and lust for life to fight it! Also the last, but not least - we are working on new AMBASSADOR21 album and we hope to be back on the road as soon as it could be possible. We DON'T cancel any confirmed dates, and for promoters - contact us if you want to organize our gigs.
Thank you all for your support, help and friendship! See you soon! :)
FUCK ALL SYSTEMS!
