Appendix I brings together three Warrington-Runcorn EPs onto CD for the first time. Comprising Building A New Town, A Shared Sense Of Purpose and Overspill Estates, this CD brings together some of the more esoteric elements of the world of Musical New Town Planning.
2023’s Building A New Town EP moved the reference point of Warrington-Runcorn back from the synth-drenched late 70s to the more post-psychedelic, folk infused world of Mike Oldfield and Pentangle. The four tracks on offer here are guitar led, but retain Gordon’s mix of optimism and sinister atmosphere.
The next EP, A Shared Sense Of Purpose was the leading single from the Your Community Hub album, and released in both 7” and 12” versions. This CD takes the single edit from the 7”, and adds the bonus tracks from the 12” – including a remix from the legendary Vince Clarke, and a another guitar-led folk remix of the title track.
Lastly, Overspill Estates fits in four songs taken from the sessions for Your Community Hub that didn’t make it onto the full album. The tracks here were an integral part of the album until a late surge of creativity brought forth some new tracks which displaced them from the full item.
