Label GB

In 1976, Charles Hayward of Gong (and Phil Manzanera's Quiet Sun) joined with Charles Bullen and Gareth Williams to form This Heat. Though arising from art-rock and the British school of fusion jazz, This Heat quickly developed into an experimental band largely dependent on tape loops and production tricks.
This Heat dissolved in 1982-1983 following a European tour in which Trefor Goronwy replaced Gareth Williams who had recently departed the band. Charles Bullen went on to solo work and put together his own studio in the late 1980s; he has recently issued a CD under his own name.
Charles Hayward decided to keep up public performances and formed The Camberwell Now along with Trefor Goronwy and several others.

Back In Stock

this heat's second and final full-length album was originally released on rough trade in 1981, and its influence has been felt far across the world of music. on 'deceit', this heat (charles hayward, charles bullen, and gareth williams) went with a more song-oriented post-punk direction, though still utilizing the studio experimentation from their self-titled 1978 debut. the lyrics are more political, sung in hayward's powerful growl, complementing the dynamic sounds of music tearing apart as it's being made. an absolute classic and available again as a stand alone release rather than as part of the box set.
