Amp


 *  Amp formed out of the musical wanderings of Richard Amp (b. England) formerly in ‘The Secret Garden’ with Dave Pearce now of ’Flying Saucer Attack’. They recorded together the ‘Distance’ project from which one track  ‘November Mist’ finally saw the light of day on the FSA album ‘Distance’ in 1994.

 The first Amp release was an audio- cassette, accompanied by a short story, written and recorded in 1992, entitled ‘GreenSky BlueTree’ This release features Ray Dickaty, who was working with Richard on an experimental free punk jazz project, which became Skree, whilst Richard was studying at the Royal College of Art.


 *  In London 1993/94 Richard’s ‘Green sky…’ inspires singer Karine Charff (b. France) and after joining Richard,  AMP’s first single ‘Get There’ is released on Linda’s Strange Vacation Records. Both initially recorded some material at home and in Wales with friends Matt Elliot of ‘Third Eye Foundation’ and Matt Jones of ‘Crescent’.
 *  These recordings became their first 7" releases in 1995 and their first LP vinyl release 'Sirenes'. Amp continued to

 colaborate with a succession of artists from Robert hampson of Loop/Main to Donald Ross Skinner of Prolapse/Julian Cope, creating many critically aclaimed records, They have 15 albums to their credit to date (2015).
 * John Peel played on his show tracks from almost every release by Amp. Although the band never secured a session on the show. Richard Amp presented a copy of Sirenes, a test pressing, to John while visiting him on his show at the BBC in Lonodn with Dave Pearce of Flying Saucer Attack in 1996.
