Late last year Andy Partridge worked with Barry Andrews and drummer Martyn Barker on an improvised music project under the group name Monstrance. The three played live in Swindon's Headroom Studio and over three sessions amassed about 8 hours of material. Engineer Merv Carswell and Future Sound Of London guitarist Stuart Rowe sorted and mixed the mountain of sounds for a future Ape House release. It's unusual but invigorating stuff.

The album of live improvised {and overdub free} music by Barry Andrews, Martyn Barker and Andy Partridge will be released as a thrilling and unique 2 disc set, called Monstrance, [and] will be released April 3 on Ape House, distributed in the U.S. via Ryko Distribution.



Andy Partridge recently recorded an edition of FREAKZONE hosted by Stuart Maconie, for BBC's 6 Music digital radio station. Several numbers from the FUZZY WARBLES series were played with Andy and Stuart shooting the breeze inbetween. The show rounded off with an exclusive airing of a 9 minute extract from the forthcoming double disc set Monstrance, called "I Lovely Cosmonaut."

The show was initially broadcast on19th November at 1700 GMT, and is now archived online - click here for Freakzone Show.
