Nick

About

Nick pulses through the UK experimental scene from 1967 to 1988, leaving a trail of magnetic tapes in its wake. A catalog of 12 cassette-only releases, with labels like Big Baby Enterprises and Black Rock Baby House, marks their sonic evolution — regimented yet unpredictable. The 1987 release, Not Quiet Right, channels an angular fusion of electronic and orchestral textures, while Nine (1988) pulls in j-pop influences, crafting a synthetic soundscape that's club-ready yet cerebral. Tracks on Wally & Jesus (1987) weave through funk and classical realms, creating propulsive rhythms that defy conventional categorization. Nick's collaborations with Two Steps From Hell remain shrouded in mystery, adding a layer of enigmatic allure to their experimental choral arrangements and soundtrack innovations. Retreat House Revival and the Decline & Fall of the Retreat House capture this kinetic energy, each tape a testament to Nick's unique position within the label network. With 51,633 ardent Last.fm listeners, Nick's music continues to resonate, a regimented force in the experimental music landscape.
