Who's Really Listening?


Mark Lane started to work musically in the late 1970s. He used electronic sound to make cut-up rhythms and bought his first synthesizer - a monophonic Electro-Harmonix with two oscillators- in 1980. In 1981 he released his first disc - the 'Love is so aggravating' 3-Track 7" EP. His early music is very minimal synth-pop styled music coupled with a unique vocal style. As influences, Mark lists Kraftwerk as well as Klinik and even David Bowie, Brian Ferry and Brian Eno. In 1982, the second release came out - a blue 9" Flexi called 'The Reflection' - today a highly sought-after item. It was not before 1984/5 that Mark released his first 'long'player - the classic 'Who's really listening?' MLP. The release was followed by a tour through Europe where Mark played together with The Klinik. Through the years, Mark collaborated with many artists - Attrition, Data Bank A, De Fabriek, Hidden Agenda, Vomito Negro and even with the synthesizer-veteran Conrad Schnitzler. He also was editor of the On-Slaught Cassette Magazine from 1982 to 1985. (MetaWave)
