Alistair Robertson was a Glasgow-based electronic musician who began making synthesizer music in the late 1970s, running his own tape label Synthetic Tapes from 1980 and releasing material under a succession of project names: DC3, The Written Text, The Klingons, Al Robertson, 100% Man Made Fibre, and Inter City Static. The Klingons' debut cassette Beamed Down by Starship Enterprise (August 1980, recorded at his house in Kirkintilloch on the outskirts of Glasgow) was followed by Analog Digital (1981), which was licensed to David Elliot's York House Recordings for re-release as YHR022. Robertson's collaboration with Ian Dobson of Those Little Aliens and the Flowmotion label produced the Inter City Static cassette Love Among the Mannequins (1981). His collaborators also included Mario D'Agostino and Richie Turnbull of Stirling, whose own projects Dick Tracy and Final Program are also represented here. In 2016 Final Program appeared alongside Human League and OMD on Cherry Red's Close to the Noise Floor compilation of nascent UK electronica.
