About
Integrated Circuit Records was an independent record label active during the 1980s and early 1990s, operating within the experimental and underground music community. The label's catalog reflects a commitment to artistic diversity, releasing work across multiple formats including vinyl LPs, cassettes, and CDs during an era when such format flexibility was characteristic of DIY and independent labels. The roster included artists such as Carl Matthews, whose retrospective "Old & New - The Best of Carl Matthews" was issued in 1988. Notable releases include the 1982 LP "Flowmotion" and a series of cassette releases spanning the late 1980s and early 1990s, including "Journey into Space" (1983), "Recent History" volumes (1989), and "See" (1990). The label's emphasis on cassette releases during this period situates it within the underground music distribution networks that thrived before digital formats dominated. While specific geographic information about the label's base remains unclear from available documentation, the breadth and consistency of its releases suggest a dedicated commitment to promoting experimental music during a pivotal decade for independent labels.
