Occupying a halfway point between
Throbbing Gristle
and
Cabaret Voltaire
without ever quite sounding like either,
We Be Echo
is
Kevin Thorne
. Thorne's first foray into music came after a chance meeting with Throbbing Gristle on Tottenham Court Road in 1979. A few months later he met
Raye Calouri
at the legendary Throbbing Gristle/Cabaret Voltaire/
Rema Rema
gig at Central YMCA, London. Soon after, the duo formed the short-lived
Third Door From The Left
. After the demise of TDFTL, Thorne formed We Be Echo. The debut album
Ceza Evi
-- featuring
Genesis P-Orridge
and
Iham
on Tibetan thigh-bone trumpet -- was released in June 1983, followed by a special edition later the same year, originally available only to readers of Nanavesh. The music was recorded using the built-in microphone on a dual cassette recorder, then the next layer was recorded whilst playing the first tape back. Very lo-fi, no editing, no remixing, all spontaneous and raw. As with TDFTL, who recorded in the same way, it all just seemed to fall into place.
Compleat Edition
: disc one contains the original tracks for the
Ceza Evi
special edition release. The remaining tracks on disc two are from the original cassette release of
Ceza Evi
, plus bonus tracks recorded between 1981-1983. Briefly pushing We Be Echo back into the light, a handful of these tracks appeared on the 2009 compilation
Decades
(Vinyl On Demand). Now, bringing together all these tracks for the first time ever, this
Compleat Edition
cements
Ceza Evi
as one of the most important underground releases of the early '80s. Mastered by
Attrition
's
Martin Bowes
.
