Earth Leakage Trip Biography

Neil Sanford

I started making music as soon as I could reach the keys on the piano, composing simple progressions. After two years at art college, the acid house scene blew up, and was an inspiration to invest in some equipment to make dance music. Soon after I met up with Rob Playford, who had yet to form moving shadow, he liked the music and suggested releasing the music on his new label. I joined forces with Simon Carter (Crystal Distortion) and Earth Leakage Trip was born. The success of the Psychotronic EP has followed me everywhere, and this EP has had much acclaim since, leading me further into the music scene, going to many warehouse parties in between producing technofunk in the studio and drumming in Cosmic Radio for pleasure. While jamming with Tony, it became my ambition to fuse the two music forms together, this lead ELT to reform, and form Sanford Lobue Productions. personal philosophy. My motivation for the music is to catch vibes. We found that jamming in the studio created a spiritual transcendence that we all felt. Capturing this atmosphere has become the essence of ELT.

Tony Lobue

I started playing guitar at the age of 8, going on to start 2 or 3 bands during my school years, playing blues and funk to punk. Things took a leap forward around 1990 when I started together with Neil Sanford, forming ‘Cosmic Radio’, a free improvisation trip funk jazz band, playing a few local gigs and recording a multitude of stoned out 90 minute tapes. We received much acclaim for what we did, pushing forward the boundaries of what was expected from a live band, mainly for the fact that we didn’t know what we were going to do until we did it! It was around the same time Neil released the groundbreaking EP ‘doors are where the windows should be’, the first EP on Moving Shadow (see discog). Through the studio productions Neil was working on and the productions I was putting together in the studio, a partnership was formed for studio work with various tracks being recorded and released on various labels, under the name of Sanford Lobue and Earth Leakage Trip.
