Global Communication is an ambient techno/ambient house duo, formed in 1992 at United Kingdom, and comprising of Tom Middleton and Mark Pritchard. They are best known for 76:14, an ambient album that sits alongside the likes of FSOL’s Lifeforms and Aphex Twin’s Selected Ambient Works 85-92, as one of the high-points of ambient composition within UK ‘90s electronic music scene.
They released under Global Communication moniker two studio albums: in 1993, their own remixed version of Blood Music by Chapterhouse, entitled Pentamerous Metamorphosis, and their mastepiece, 76:14, in 1994.
Also they issued few EPs: Keongaku EP in 1992, Maiden Voyage in 1994, The Way / The Deep in 1996, and The Groove in 1997.
To date, Global Communication released three compilations: a remix album entitled Remotion in 1996, a DJ mix album entitled Fabric 26 in 2006 (1/2 by Mark Pritchard, 1/2 by Tom Middleton) and in 2011 another DJ Mix entitled Back In The Box . They also reissued the studio albums: Pentamerous Metamorphosis in 1998, and 76:14 in 2005 (a 10-year anniversary remastered re-release, with additional content on a bonus CD).
As a duo, Middleton and Pritchard have also recorded as, Jedi Knights making new electro, Secret Ingredients, The Chameleon making drum-n-bass, Reload & E621, and Link & E621. Together they formed the Evolution Records Label and Universal Language Records Label.

Really now... honestly, they are one of those bands who comes out with a perfect debut. One that was building within them their entire lives up to the point. How do you top that?

Objection! Hopefully they won’t be doing another album because this band is an assault against creativity; they think it’s expressive to not bother naming their songs. And the fans think it’s the coolest thing on earth they could do. And the music is a total pile, just a bunch of random beeps and noises. I wonder if there is ever going to a limit to the amount of crap people are going to swallow these days.

It was splendid to be present at their recent Bestival performance and hear their live takes on some 76:14 numbers. Tranquil soundscapes.
