EAR (band) 2371470 216794942 2008-06-03T07:05:04Z Gogo Dodo 1257855 Rm, unnecessary '''Experimental Audio Research''' is a group formed around [[Peter Kember]] (a.k.a. Sonic Boom), formerly of [[Spacemen 3]]. To quote from the liner notes of the first '''E.A.R.''' full-length release, ''Mesmerised'', "'''E.A.R.''' is a loose affiliation of non-resident "sound makers" including from time to time Sonic Boom ([[Peter Kember|Spectrum]], Spacemen 3), [[Kevin Martin]] (God), [[Kevin Shields]] ([[My Bloody Valentine]]), and [[Eddie Prévost]] ([[AMM]]) amongst others." Other collaborators have included [[Lawrence Chandler]] of [[Bowery Electric]], the late [[Delia Derbyshire]] and [[Thomas Köner]], plus various members of Spectrum, though it is generally considered a Kember solo project. Commonly shortened to '''E.A.R.''' or '''EAR''', the collective is one of Kember's several post-Spacemen 3 projects, which also include Spectrum, as well albums released under the Sonic Boom moniker. ==Discography== ===Albums=== *''Mesmerised'' (1994) *''Beyond The Pale'' (1996) *''Phenomena 256'' (1996) *''The Köner Experiment (1997) *''Millennium Music'' (1998) *''Data Rape'' (1998) *''Pestrepeller'' (1999) *''Live At The Dream Palace'' (2000) *''Vibrations'' (2000) *''Continuum'' (2001) *''Worn To A Shadow'' (2005) ==External links== *[http://www.sonic-boom.info/ear.php Official site] *[http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=sonic_boom Kember's Trouser Press entry] *[http://hometown.aol.com/daaydream/ear.html Photo from the concert later released as ''Live At The Dream Palace''] [[Category:Experimental musicians]] [[Category:British electronic music groups]]
