Homosapien - Pete Shelley [CD]

Pete Shelley's solo debut, 'Homosapien', released on 15th January 1982, was a long time in the making, drawing on ideas from before his time with Buzzcocks. Many of the songs, including the title track, were written as early as 1973, when Pete first began experimenting with home recording. His early bands, like Jets of Air, were influenced by glam and experimental sounds, laying the groundwork for his later solo work. Despite his involvement in Buzzcocks, Pete's desire to explore electronic music and more experimental styles grew, especially after seeing bands like Joy Division and Gang of Four garner critical praise.
