Glass Records Redux

Glass Records was one of the key London independent record labels of the 1980s, operating from 1981-1989. Known for its innovative and diverse roster, Glass Records played a crucial role in shaping the alternative music scene during that era.

In 2015, Glass Records was resurrected as *Glass Redux* with a mission to remaster classic releases "For The Kids" and discover new music for the "grown Ups". With a rich history and an eye towards the future, Glass Redux continues to celebrate and support independent artists across various genres.

Whether you're a fan of post-punk, indie rock, or experimental sounds, *Glass Redux* offers a curated selection of music that will satisfy your cravings for unique and boundary-pushing tunes. Explore our catalog and discover hidden gems that will transport you back to the vibrant musical landscape of the 80s while also introducing you to exciting contemporary artists.

At the turn of the eighties the real new romantics weren't to be found in the hair-gelified poodle parade that was the vapid London scene but in the modernistic uniformity of the concrete towns of the Midlands. The sublime (Eyeless In Gaza, Bron Area) rubbed shoulder-pads with the ridiculous (Component Erotica) and, most enigmatic of all, was In Embrace. Enigmatic would-be popstar Gary Knight teamed up with enigmatic artstar Cameron Lindo, and theirs was a whispering, sweet, mysterious sound, the warble of Casiotones in Coventry Cathedral. You could tell that these young men walked hand in hand with their girlfriends in the ruins at midnight, and even if that wasn't true it might as well have been. This inventive duo could sound vaster than a full on band, their unorthodox instrumental versatility gave them a beautiful sonic palette, and their surprisingly erotically charged lyrics gave evidence that nice boys DID. Found By Glass Records, exhumed from the ashes of Leicester's Three Way Dance and let loose in a recording Studio with John A Rivers, producer of Felt, Eyeless In Gaza and The Special AKA, the re-christened In Embrace recorded firstly the mini LP "The Initial Caress", then swiftly followed by "Passionfruit Pastels", the first LP recorded for Glass Records (the 3 LP's before it were compilations of one sort or another, or cassette only releases) so it's fitting that it should be the first release on the resurrected Glass Redux label. Hey, everyone else from the 80's and 90's has re-formed, so we might as well join the party, visit some old friends, and maybe make some new ones.
