John was fond of Tokyo and visited many times. He produced the original iteration of his album Found in Tokyo using a diverse range of recordings. These were made during his wanderings around the city and compiled from disparate sources; the ephemeral hubbub of Tokyo street noise, rides on the subway, and the weird and wonderful Japanese advertisements he encountered.
On his return to the UK, John mixed these audio samples to create Found in Tokyo. This is the only album we know John was happy with, or that he considered complete, as he returned to Japan to distribute it in John’s typically low-key DIY / punk / chaos theory fashion. The sealed recordings, with artwork by John, were handed out to musicians, left at Tokyo gig venues for people to pick up at random, and stuck to walls outdoors for strangers to discover.
John had spoken with Lancashire and Somerset record label about releasing one of his albums. A labour of love for all concerned, the brand new 12” double vinyl version of Found in Tokyo and the 7” vinyl featuring the Tokyo Psychoses soundtrack incorporate John’s original cover designs, becoming as much about the creative process, craft and possibilities of creation as the soundscapes themselves; reflecting John’s experimental working methods and exacting attention to detail.

I saw Haress support Godspeed in Coventry over the weekend and haven't been able to stop myself thinking about their set. It doesn't surprise me that they turn out to be from Bishop's Castle because this is what the welsh border sounds like. Uncanny, unsettling, beautiful. Wonderful discovery, SteveC

Great record. wears it's influences proudly ..but retains a sliver of identity that is uniquely British and has a northern feel to it..I think that these geographic musical vignettes are realy evocotive of northern Newtown Uber estates and satellite communities..I hope this translates to a wider audience for him...he deserves the attention. give him his due .NOW . christopherogley

During the final days of writing my thesis I listened to this album on repeat for hours at a time. It was like being suspended in one eternal moment while all that changed around me were the ripples and eddies of a slowly meandering river. catharina_bee
