Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed by Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh following their departure from The Human League, B.E.F. serves as a highly experimental production vehicle. Released solely on cassette originally, this project deconstructs early synthpop into rigid, instrumental soundscapes that heavily influenced the development of the British electro-industrial underground.
