This UK collective emerged from late-night improvisational sessions in the early 1980s, capturing experimental electronic experimentation during a formative period for British electronic music. The group's approach blended unconventional instrumentation and spontaneous composition, drawing inspiration from non-Western musical traditions like gamelan orchestras.
Though an album was recorded for Groovy Records during this era, it remained unreleased at the time, making Strange Men in Sheds With Spanners an obscure footnote in UK experimental electronic history. Their improvisational methodology and willingness to explore sonic territories outside mainstream dance music contributed to the underground electronic landscape of their era.
