F.R.I.S.K.
Forever Reign In Self Knowledge...
Background:
'F.R.I.S.K.' started out as a feeler project for Liam and Chris on the 'Clean-up' records label. Before this, Liam and his brother Miles were making music in high-school, during the 1980's and a girl called Deborah Corner (Chris' sister), had gotten her hands on these home-made cassette tapes and started to sell them at her school, to make some extra money. This led to Liam getting to know her more and eventually they started dating. This is how Liam and Chris fatefully crossed paths. Liam and Chris both having some form of musical talent, led to a bond and a growth in the need to make music. Their first band was 'Sleep Fuse', mainly supplying underground acid-jazz, then several years later, they merged into 'F.R.I.S.K.'. Only two singles were released, one being a white label with no record company present and the other being a fully labelled released on 'Clean-up' records. Several artists appear on these releases with vocal contributions by Liam himself. Only one gig was ever played live, in Ascot, United Kingdom, with Chris, Liam, Dave and Chris Tate (under his guise of 'Hunch').
Take The Sun Away - UK 12'' Vinyl Edition (1994)
Insight:
The only ever pressing of this single. Features the Line Of Flight mix (which is Liam and Chris anyway). 'Take The Sun Away' is actually the same song as 'If You Go Away'. Presumably they decided to change the song titles as the song remains the same. Some copies were housed in the orange and blue 'Clean-up' records sleeves and unlike the 'World As A Cone E.P.' by 'Line Of Flight', this release doesn't contain artist info.
Track-listing:
A1: Take The Sun Away (Line Of Flight Mix)
B1: Take The Sun Away (Multiplicity Mix)
B2: Look Into Your Soul
