This material from PORTION CONTROL clearly demonstrates their early experimentation both as ‘musicians’ and with at the advent of analogue electronic machines. The eclectic material ranges from cassette portastudio material recorded in Peckham and Kennington, South London to high end studio recordings.

During this highly charged period PORTION CONTROL established themselves at the forefront of the Formative, Underground UK Electronics scene
