Brilliant private press one-off from a group of art-school Eno acolytes from Middlesex, recorded over two days in 1979.

"Conceived by painter and generative music artist Paul Ramsey, 1979 LP Photographs Of Sound is a result of a two-day event in creating ‘Functional Background Music’.  It’s a well-aged and agreeable suite of varied instrumentals that capture a complimentary scene, setting or function, such as Gymnastics, or the image of a Rockpool and the strain of sprinting.  All this aside, musically the album flows.  Shifting moods between dreaming atmospheric improvisation to quirky art-rock pieces with live drums and laid-back guitar skits.  The canon of 70s / 80s private press LPs is certainly full of this sorta DIY library music - see the recent Italian Sandro Zane LP we had, although this is much better - although this isolated home-experimentation feels more in line with the likes of Terry Burrows, Berbel Nobodius and some of the Hamster Records scene" -- Tom Houghton
