about

every day is the same and life underwater were the first publicly-available midwich albums and the first two releases on ffr. They were recorded quickly and wear their influences prominently: Nurse With Wound (especially in the short tracks and track titles), pan sonic (especially in the thumping ‘too early’), Vibracathedral Orchestra (in feel, I know it doesn’t sound like them) and various electronic stuff I was listening to at the time.

Despite feeling a bit unfinished, I’m proud of tracks like the icy ‘every day is the same’ and ‘rays’ – the warm bubbling of the latter became a bit of a signature style. The track 'life underwater' is well weird - what was I thinking? They also set the template for the ‘standard’ midwich release: four(ish) tracks alternating between short and spiky and long and droney.
