TIME & SPACE MACHINE


SOMEWHAT of an unsung legend in UK dance music circles, Richard Norris is about to release the second album of his psych solo project, the Time & Space Machine (TASM). ‘Taste The Lazer’ is brimming with cosmic disco, extended psychedelic wig-outs, drone-laden experimentation, soundtrack-o-rama and hypnotic grooves, and he’ll be taking the project out live this summer to assorted festivals and international events.


Norris is perhaps best known for his work as one half of The Grid, the successful late ‘80s/early ‘90s dance project he helmed with Dave Ball from Soft Cell. Before that though he produced arguably the fi rst ever acid house album, ‘Jack The Tab’ by Psychic TV, and wrote for the NME. Latterly, as well as his TASM project, he’s worked with electro don Erol Alkan as Beyond The Wizard’s Sleeve, releasing a number of EPs and remixing the Chemical Brothers and Goldfrapp.


He was also in a mid-noughties electroclash outfi t The Droyds, and was a friend of Joe Strummer from The Clash (Strummer called him ‘Norro’), producing a number of tracks for his Mescaleros album and hanging out at campfi re sessions at assorted festivals
