Watching the Hydroplanes - CD

LTM is pleased to announce a second archive CD by the cult band Tunnel vision, who recorded for Factory Records in 1980/81 and were produced by Martin Hannett and Peter Hook. From Blackpool on the North of England, cold wavers Tunnel vision were spotted by Factory at the 2nd even New Order gig in September 1980, and recorded the single Watching the Hydroplanes/Morbid Fear with legendary producer Martin Hannett. Their second demo, recorded the following year, was mixed by Peter Hook of New Order. The youthful band split in early 1982. 'Watching the Hydroplanes' combines both sides of the Factory single with all eight studio demo tracks recorded by the band in 1980-81, carefully remastered from original analogue mastertapes that for many years were thought to have been lost. In addition there is the pre-Hook mix of the second demo and a portastudio demo track. Features a faithful adaption of the original Martyn Atkins 7" sleeve artwork and includes a booklet of detailed band biography and archive photos. 2005.
