With 'Honeymooon On Mars' legendary post punk provocateurs The Pop Group open another
chapter at a time when their iconoclastic contention is needed more than ever. It's
a record that finds the band unwaveringly incensed and resolute in their mutative sense
of innovation, as Stewart elaborates: 'it's a stand against manufactured hate, a
hypersonic journey into a dystopian future full of alien encounters and sci-fi
lullabies'. Produced by dub titan Dennis Bovell, who worked on their seminal 'Y' album
debut, and Public Enemy / Bomb squad legendary producer Hank Shocklee, 'Honeymoon On
Mars' represents the band's realisation of a dream twofold collaboration.

Gareth Sager, he of The Pop Group and Rip Rig & Panic, recently deployed his classical
piano skills with lightning precision at a recording session at Abbey Road, turning
out fourteen improvised pieces in an afternoon. The material is richly melodic and
deftly performed: 88 Tuned Dreams is a very pleasant surprise from Gareth.
