Born in Pontypridd, South Wales to a musical family, Thighpaulsandra
developed an interest in modern classical and electronic music at an
early age. Whilst still in school he formed an avant-garde rock group
incorporating influences from his admiration for experimental music
pioneers John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen. Through experiments with
his group The Rachel Dennis Sisters he was offered a job in a local
recording studio which eventually led to him becoming the manager and
house engineer. One of his many clients was former The Teardrop Explodes
frontman Julian Cope who, after learning of their mutual appreciation
of krautrock and electronics, invited him to join his current group as
keyboard player. During Thighpaulsandra's tenure with Cope he garnered
the attention of Coil's John Balance. After an introduction via his
management, the two became great friends and Thighp was asked to join
Coil shortly after. Thighp has also released several solo albums, some
of which shift between experimental and rock, others, like The Lepore Extrusion,
are drone albums. Originally released through Brainwashed, this album
was very hard to find outside the US and soon deleted. For this
re-issue, Thighpaulsandra has added a bonus track that wasn't featured
on the original release
