Salvation (UK goth band)

~ Group

Annotation

1983... Danny and James get together to experiment and make noise. James liked Metal Machine Music, Danny liked Cabaret Voltaire.

James had a bass guitar and Danny had 2 synths...they made Noise! Then guitarist Mike joined the band...he had pedals...loads of 'em! They linked them up, drum machine to synths - via pedals and through echo chambers then pressed Play! Eureka, they were a Band!

At the time, Danny was working with The Sisters of Mercy and Übermeister Andrew Eldritch took the trio to Bridlington to record the first Salvation single for his label Merciful Release. K.G. Studio was 100 yards from the beach and had already played host to the Sisters. It was snowing and the band were skint! Andrew knew that the band didn't have any money and so, asked to be paid in kind with West Yorkshire's finest stimulants. 3 sleepless nights and the Girlsoul EP was born! The Sisters' connection guaranteed healthy sales and soon the band and Eldritch were back behind the mixing desk; this time at Stockport's Strawberry Studios. 48 channels, all the latest technology! No excuses, they had to sound good!

They recorded 6 songs for a prospective album on Merciful Release but Machiavellian machinations saw it being shelved and Mike decided to leave the band.
