We Can Elude Control presents Accumulator, a selection of rare and previously unreleased material from the archives of the pioneering sonic art & experimental electronics project Nocturnal Emissions!

The 12” features Accumulator 1 & 2, two unreleased tracks from 1982 that demonstrates the group’s early explorations into raw percussion and mechanical proto-techno. Alongside this is the early 80’s recording So Darn Hot, a sparse diagram of low-slung industrial reduction available now for the first time on vinyl.

The 12” release also includes a free CDR featuring a crowd recording of Nocturnal Emissions live at the Brixton Ritzy on June 9th 1983. Recorded on Election Night, as Margaret Thatcher was catastrophically re-elected to power, the performance mixed live TV broadcasting of the election results with excerpts from the groups 16mm film The Foetal Grave of Progress. The recording takes place a stones throw from Atlantic Road, the site 2 years previously where the group performed in a railway arch during the height of the 1981 Brixton Riots.
