Slurpy Gloop – I Heard It In A Bathtub In Ohio LP
Just a quick post today to share an updated rip of this minimal synth/experimental/psychedelic classic from 1986. Slurpy Gloop were a four-piece band from the UK (Scotland, specifically) that were inspired by many of the great early electronic and industrial artists from 75-81, an extremely exciting and fertile time period in music. The band recorded this LP in Dunfermline, Scotland, and the record features collaborations from musicians in the local scene.
Shades of Throbbing Gristle, Klaus Schulze, early Cabaret Voltaire, early Human League, Faust, and more can be heard throughout this wild and haunting eleven-track LP. Lots to love on these grooves – it almost sounds as if this band recorded this in 1979, not in the mid-80s. Some sounds are just timeless in that way, and this LP certainly captures my imagination in a similar manner as their influences. Tracks here would have been right at home on some of Alain Neffe’s Insane Music series as well…
You can read quite a bit more about Slurpy Gloop via Kinemagigz – where they also note that the band briefly reunited in 2010 for some shows and recordings. I’d be curious to hear what came of that, if anyone from the band finds this post and can shed some light on the last sixteen years!
Without any further ado…

Really interesting how you point out that it sounds more like something from the late ’70s than mid-’80s—that transitional influence period really comes through in records like this. The mix of minimal synth with those industrial textures gives it a kind of eerie timelessness that’s hard to pin down. Now I’m especially curious about that 2010 reunion too, feels like there’s more of this story still out there.
