\"\"<\/a>Today’s act is UK based avant-garde musician Sp\u00f6\u00f6n Fazer. Sp\u00f6\u00f6n Fazer was formed in 1978 as a solo venture for drummer Simon Patterson, who earned his nickname from his work in previous outfit The Whippets From Nowhere (a.k.a. 39 Steppes in later incarnations).<\/p>\n

As Sp\u00f6\u00f6n Fazer, Simon would release a handful of singles, an EP, and a cassette-only recording, all exploring the avant-garde side of a budding wave scene. His calling card was a series of synth drums, drummed on heavily with sets of spoons. On record, two previous members of the Whippets joined Simon on bass, guitars, and backing vocals. As Simon’s career progressed, he developed a heavy interest in Japanese rhythms and instrumentation, which would manifest in Spoon Fazer’s last recordings.<\/p>\n

Though Sp\u00f6\u00f6n Fazer’s discography is minute (and tough to pin down exactly what exists), Simon has since been involved in several working projects, as both a contributor and a remixer.<\/p>\n

I’ve uploaded all three tracks from Sp\u00f6\u00f6n Fazer’s Music For Life<\/em> 7”, also occasionally referred to as the ‘Do Different Dances’ single. I believe this release was combined with another 7” to form the more widely known Music 2 Live 2 = Music 4 Life<\/em> single.<\/p>\n
