Timeshard

In Liverpool, friends Gobber, Psi, and Steve launched Timeshard toward the end of the 1980s, setting up a home studio to experiment with loops and found sounds. They started hosting free parties in the area, earning recognition as the first "live acid-house band" there. Their performances soon reached wider audiences throughout Great Britain, incorporating influences from ethno-techno, trance, and dub into the music. Self-released cassette albums brought them notice, including Who Pilots the Flying Saucers from 1991 and Hyperborean Dome Temples of Apollo in the next year. Planet Dog took them on in 1994, issuing Crystal Oscillations as a result. Hunab Ku came out two years later as the trio's second complete album.
