What great British Artist. Shame RIP. Got into Mark music in 90s . Still love it. Love from London. Kebu , MADIS.. are new kids on board. Thanks again MARK. X
havent heard this in 20 years. I used to have a compilation LP called Disc Drive that had Mark Shreeve, Tangerine Dream etc on. Even had the Willesden Dodgers "Gunsmoke Breakout" on. Cooool.
Wish I still had Disk Drive, seems to have vanished without trace. So hard to search with the name … remember gunsmoke breakout well . Totally brilliant British Hiphop
I was there with my brother. It was a great day of music. I met Mark Shreeve after his set. He was a nice bloke. Met a lot of nice people there that day actually. I have a signed copy of his Nocturne CD, which I got from another concert. It might have been jodrell bank or the national space centre. I still listen to his music often.
This was the first time I saw Mark Shreeve live and this was the highlight of a very impressive set. The first time I heard this track was on a Bruton Music library CD called Oracle and this track was called ' Myriad of Colours'. But a year or two later, Legion was released (or re-released) on CD and I had the pleasure of hearing 'Storm Column' - same music but a more sinister atmosphere. This live version is very special though as even more character is added to the music.
I remember a tune similar to this playing in UK cinemas probably mid to late 80's after the adverts before the main film came on. Not sure if it was this tune though.
you gotta admit its bloody nice music :-) I also have the Willesden Dodgers tracks. The connection being the same producers at Zomba right? I think that's what made the albums Legion and Crash Head so well made, something we may never hear again on Shreeve's work. I wish Mark would get back to this uptempo electro stuff again...uplifting spirits = good
During the 80's there was a CGI demo/clip that sometimes was shown on TV with a catchy theme similar to this one, but not this one. Somewhere in the video there was a girl jumping into something like a pool, fractal mountains, etc. I can't find it, does some on has any clue.
hevvvyyyyyy!!!!!!!! TODAY's psychedelic music. (psychedelia following in the footsteps of kraftwerk, that is. kraftwerk, hawkwind, syd barrett era pink floyd, et al.)
This track was on a free tape that came with some mag in the past that I used to get. I lost the tape - it is one of my fav tracks of all times. Just found it here by chance - fantastic track. What's Mark doing now does anybody know?
Check out "Arc"... his band with the other big name in UK synth music: Ian Boddy... and "Redshift" his band with a bunch of other blokes... fun fact (that might be wrong) he wrote Touch Me for Sam Fox.
No wonder he worked with Tangerine Dream. This is awesome, today's guys around there, this is how you make cool electronic music, not just by pushing a button. The guy knows his stuff.
Turns out it was a wrongly labelled version of Angels Of Death except my copy is slightly faster than the album version. Mystery solved! Thanks anyway.
I'm sorry. I disagree. Try watching one of Ceephax Acid Crew's live gigs on here. The amount of knob twiddling he does whilst manually triggering 3 drum machines, two synths and a 303 is astounding.

This is why You tube is brilliant - Came across this quite by accident. Love it.

You met Mark? Really?
One of my all-time favourites. It's also my message alert on my mobile.
brings back allot of memories, this guy was as good a jmj in my opinion and should have been huge.
Fantastic ! Shame I Missed that Gig and only up the road too..

Excellent...favourite Shreeve track!
I first heard this on an electronics and music maker tape (a synthesizer mag) bought the album a week later circa 85 - probably my fav track too
Yes! I remember when they started sticking cassettes on the front of E&MM. I bought that same magaizine.
Electronics And Music Maker..... that takes me back!!! :)
good tune with a decent melody
Love this track so much, amazing performance
amazing
this is my all time fav track.awesomeness indeed
My favourite.
Thanks...

ஜ ♥ Simply the best !
Superb music and performance. Love it.
This track was widely used as "production music" on TV & radio promos, ads etc.
It featured on a Bruton Music album called "Oracle".
Myriad of Colours

actually, the opening bars of this track used to be used by eurosport (sat tv channel) for their "what a week" drop in advert

@LeeDH22 I think it was the intro' to Flagg. It was the BBC Christmas theme once.
I wish I had sheet music for this.
Soulseek.
@Kenzoid27 It is.
As far as I know this is the only track Mark produced called "Storm Column".
I've never heard of him before, really cheesy but in a good way. I'll download some now.

I have the Legion album on vinyl, but can't seem to find it on CD, does anybody know where I can get it?
No wonder he worked with Tangerine Dream. This is awesome, today's guys around there, this is how you make cool electronic music, not just by pushing a button. The guy knows his stuff.
i have a track also called storm column by mark shreeve but it isn't this?
Is there more than 1 track called this?
I think know the one you mean, but sorry am as clueless as you. If you have any luck tracking it down, let me know. Cheers.
