Emotional Hardware Reissue edition

Thomas Leer is a pivotal character in the DIY electronic music scene. He recorded the legendary single "Private Plane" for Rough Trade back in 1979. A year later Thomas and his friend Robert Rental became the first artists other than Throbbing Gristle to have an album released on TG's own legendary Industrial Records. During the 1980's he worked with Claudia Brucken(formerly with Propaganda) and released a number of solo recordings. Thomas returned to his home town Greenockbut continued to record and release records through a number of small indie electronic labels. Now aged 67 Thomas continues to make music which is as challenging and cutting edge as it has ever been. Many artists including Daniel Miller(Mute records) and Matt Johnson(The The) have praised Thomas' work. Each copy will be hand numbered, the first 300 signed by Thomas Leer.
