about

‘Vanguard 1’ was the first major solo release by Andy Pickford since 2003 and a welcomed a return for the enigmatic UK synth maestro. As one of the most popular of the 1990’s UK ‘new wave’ of electronic music exponents, Andy Pickford’s music is characterised by strong rhythms and sequences, and above all, melodies and themes to die for!
To state that this album is a ‘stunning return’ would be a huge understatement - ‘Vanguard 1’ is mind blowing - a selection of 11 dynamic and expertly constructed, interlinked tracks that power into the senses like a juggernaut. Full of ideas and creativity, it’s utterly compelling!
As you’d expect the music is very melodic, with one memorable theme after the other demanding ‘repeat play’. Sequences and rhythms are tight, imaginative and contemporary, yet they don’t lose sight of Andy Pickford’s EM roots, even when flirting with the chill and electronica style vocal tracks that permeate this extraordinary album.
‘Vanguard 1’ is the first in a trilogy of releases planned on AD Music - with ‘2’ and ‘3’ already recorded and awaiting release in the near future. The music featured on ‘Vanguard 1’ is beautifully produced and shows a maturity and expertise that will appeal to his existing fans and is sure to garner praise from the wider electronica/chill market.

This album is utterly brilliant and is my new go-to as far as electronic music as a whole. I despair that I will find nothing else that will evoke the same emotions. It is hypnotic, intriguing and vivifying all at once. I have no idea how that was pulled off! BGE

Pure nostalgia for Tangerine Dream fans, this one. The trio around iapetus' Bernard Wöstheinrich doesn't try to hide it. On the contrary, they have the TD name name-checked in the album accompanying text here on bandcamp. Indeed these tracks sound like lost TD recordings from the 1972-78 era. Strongly recommended for 70s TD-fans! The music is quite different, but this project seems to have done to "classic TD" what Robert Reed did to early Oldfield with his Sanctuary albums...
