About the band:

Describing themselves as "like the surprise happy outcome of a deranged genetic experiment", Radium88 can't decide what genre they fit into - space-hop, neo-classical ambient techno-noir, weirdo-hip-trip-pop or retro-futurist... Hmmm.

Cornet player Mike Clifford is an engineering lecturer at the University of Nottingham, whilst writer and producer Tim Thwaites' background is in the chemical sciences. For the pair's thoughts on Only Science Can Tell Us the Truth, billed somewhat cautiously as an album "anti-inspired" by science, listen to the Green Room interview.

Over the last few years, Radium88 have played live all over the UK and toured in Spain, Holland and Belgium. They don't play too many live gigs these days, owing partly to an undisclosed incident with a yak. Don't ask, apparently. >>> But do check out their website - and buy their CDs.
