John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

Mass

Mass were a British band, whose members hailed from Oxford and Cambridge. The line-up consisted of Daz Fralick - bass, E (real name Ian Millan) - vocals, Nick Ryall - guitar, and Steve Beatty - drums. Their music was an early-nineties, post-goth mix of hardcore, punk and guitar noise, wrapped up in dark atmospheres and echoing feedback. The group's first single, "Pulling", was produced by Steve Albini of Big Black fame. An album, "Rushingfloodperfurme", as well as two further singles, "Medusa" and "Godsend", appeared on Abstract Records. However, with "Godsend" issued on CD only, UK sales were not as good as they should have been. Internal differences reared their heads, with guitarist Nick Ryall and bassist Daz Fralick feeling that the remainder of the troupe were not pulling their weight in terms of division of labour. By late 1992, the act had split. During the Mass era, Nick Ryall also worked with the "goth" supergroup G7, which numbered Jaz Coleman (Killing Joke), Patricia Morrison (The Sisters of Mercy) and Mick Brown (The Mission) as its other proponents. Sadly, the sessions recorded were never released. Nick now works as a lecturer in Music in Cambridge. The whereabouts of the other members are unknown.
