Born on August 13, 1948 in London, Anthony Moore is a British experimental music composer, performer, and producer. He gained recognition as a founding member of the band Slapp Happy and has collaborated with renowned artists such as Henry Cow. With an impressive discography of solo albums, Moore's innovative approach to music has captivated audiences worldwide.

From 2000 to 2004, he served as the principal of the Academy of Media Arts in Köln, Germany. Throughout his career, Moore has been known for pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic territories. His unique sound can be likened to other influential artists including Aksak Maboul, Robert Wyatt, and Kevin Ayers.

With his contributions to bands like Art Bears and collaborations with musicians like John Cale and Holger Czukay from Faust, Anthony Moore continues to leave an indelible mark on the experimental music scene. Fans of avant-garde music will appreciate his eclectic style that effortlessly blends genres and challenges conventional norms.

Drag City is a renowned music label that was founded by Dan Koretzky and Dan Osborn. With an impressive roster of artists, Drag City has established itself as a leading force in the music industry. Known for their diverse range of genres, the label has consistently released groundbreaking and influential albums. From indie rock to experimental folk, Drag City continues to push boundaries and nurture innovative talent.

Since its inception, Drag City has been dedicated to supporting artists who defy conventions and create unique sounds. The label's commitment to artistic freedom has allowed musicians to explore their creativity without limitations. This approach has resulted in a catalog of critically acclaimed albums that have resonated with audiences worldwide.

With an unwavering focus on quality over quantity, Drag City carefully curates its releases, ensuring each album receives the attention it deserves. Their meticulous attention to detail extends beyond the music itself, with beautifully designed album artwork and packaging that enhance the overall listening experience.

From the summer of '75 to spring '76, Anthony Moore was in and out of the studios, along with producer Peter Jenner (from Blackhill), working with some of Britain's finest musicians and engineers at legendary facilities like Abbey Road and Richard Branson's Oxfordshire getaway The Manor, to produce the eleven tracks that make up Out. But when fate took a turn in the form of a sudden change of the guard in the Virgin front office, the resulting treasure trove of songs was buried, exhumation scheduled for presumably never. Nearly 50 years and lots of digging later, the sounds of OUT are strangely familiar to new ears. With Lover of Mine, a polyrhythmic bed is laid for a trip into the light Brit-psych style of a decade earlier - very Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd vibes here - but the song retains the same reality-bending, expectation-defying intent that one would want from the founder of avant-pop poster kids Slapp Happy. When it's all been taken in, it becomes clear Anthony Moore's Out bridges the distance from the halcyon days of psychedelia through the mid-70s, proto-new wave Britain and through to post-punk's frantic avant-experiments - and untapped possibilities beyond!
