Can&#8217;t seem to find a slew of other information about the band, but the two members were Martyn Good and Andy Partington, and this seems to be their only musical venture. Sleeve scans show additional organic contributions from various folks, but no songwriting or official member status credits.<\/p>\n<p>The zip below contains all six of Circuit 7&#8217;s tracks, including two 7&#8221; records (one on blue and one on red vinyl!) and two tracks from the Offering of Isca compilation, produced by Martyn Good and released on Micro Records in 1985.

Due to the nudging of a few readers, I&#8217;ve created an 8tracks account to upload songs and mixes for friends and readers. I&#8217;ve made a twenty-one track long minimal wave mix with a dash of italo and coldwave for good measure. A few of these tracks should be familiar to Systems of Romance regulars, some are favorites, and some may appear here in the future, if demand is high and there isn&#8217;t any overlap. Anyway, click <a href=\"http:\/\/8tracks.com\/systemsofromance\/the-old-guard\">HERE<\/a> to give the mix a spin, and enjoy! I&#8217;ll be making more of these as time progresses, and will be sure to update when the next one is live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UK&#8217;s Circuit 7 is a 2-piece minimal synth collective who recorded only six tracks throughout their short tenure.
