Music For Aliens was originally a cassette-only release with Sydney acts Holy Terra and Nanotech taking a side each.
Holy Terra was the first project from Michael Westcot, combining electric viola with digital and analogue technologies, producing a distinctly organic and free form sound ranging from hard tech-trance to chilled downbeat ambience. Holy Terra later metamorphosed into Terra 9, moving to New Zealand where Westcot’s style moved into breaks and beyond, releasing further albums to critical worldwide acclaim.
Nanotech was a collaboration between James McParlane and Anthony Banister, exploring visual and aural dimensions through the electronic medium. Anthony Banister later explored other electronic music styles with acts such as Eidolon, The Flow, Galactic Gangstars and Lunar Module.
