About Me |
|
| After working with local bands and musicians, Tim decided to go it alone in the late nineties. Working on solo singer/songwriter music under his own name and adopting the Luminous moniker for his electronic/experimental output soon afterwards.1998 saw the release of the self financed 'CD EP' - a solo four-song promo CD-R for the radio and press. The debut Luminous release in 1999, was the inclusion of 'It's Bass, Jim, But Not As We Know It', on the highly acclaimed '...Eclipse Of The Moon And Falling Star' compilation album on Fi Sci Records.The official debut solo release was the 7" single 'Here Comes Down', on the well respected French label Plastic Pancake in 2000. Until 2003, Tim released music on various cassette and CD-R labels, including Bliss and Best Kept Secret. 2004 saw the release of the double A side download Luminous single 'Pull A Chain In Tune/Deevy', on the well known Oxford label Shifty Disco. The debut solo album 'Chrome Plated On Nickel Silver', was released on CD in Autumn 2005 on Tim's own label Tara Records. In early 2006, a new Luminous track 'Rub', was released as part of 'Paranoise One - Songs For A Paranoid Society', on the German label Paranoise. An ongoing series of themed Luminous download only EPs which began in 2006, is also available from archive.org. Early 2007 saw the release of the download Luminous album 'Against The Law - Volume I', on the Moscow based label Clinical Archives. Soon afterwards, the same label released the infamous Luminous track 'You Know What I Want', as part of their 'Clinical Sounds - Vol. 1' download compilation album. Canadian label The Beautiful Music, included Tim's cover of 'Stop And Smell The Roses', on 'I Would Write A Thousand Words' - the second of their tribute albums to The Television Personalities, in Spring 2007. The second solo album 'Slo-Mo Baby Doll', was released in Summer 2007 on the Cornish label Golden Pathway.Tim continues to work with other musicians on and off and also does the odd remix here and there. 'Odd', often being the operative word. Recent releases include two brand new Luminous albums. 'Eve Was Weak' and 'Again Again' are available from Tara Records via iTunes and most major digital distributors. Swedish net label 23 seconds released 'The Watercolour Lane EP' in late 2007 and 'The '80's Girls EP' in Spring 2008. Early 2008 saw the release of the first Luminous album to make it onto CD.
