To coincide with Cherry Red Records' release of Modern Eon's Fiction Tales (1981), writer and musicologist Andrew Keeling provides an in-depth analysis and historical overview of this overlooked album. Contributions from band members Alex Che Johnson, Danny Hampson, Tim Lever and Cliff Hewitt are also included. Keeling argues Modern Eon was far more than merely 'new wave', creating in Fiction Tales, and its orbiting singles, daring experimental and visionary art-music.
With only one album, a handful of singles, and performances throughout the UK and Europe for less than a year, Modern Eon remain one of the best-kept musical secrets of the new wave/post-punk scene of the early 1980s. The author argues that the album Fiction Tales and its orbiting singles are works of supreme originality and provides historical, comparative and analytical discussions about the band and its music.
Andrew Keeling is a composer, musician and writer whose works have been published, released and broadcast throughout the world.
