From outer to inner space, and all the bits in between, ‘Eric Needs To Know’ searches through the sounds that inhabit these realms, and sticks them together in various patterns … sometimes random, sometimes planned, but always interesting.

The sounds can be intense in one track, and drifty in another, but allow yourself to listen to them, and you’ll hear the layers within each.

He has been producing for nearly 10 years, but only recently has started to be satisfied with the pieces he has been completing. Past outings have made it onto Belfast-based compilation CDs, and online radio, but it’s time for the chrysalis to spread it’s wings, and with his first solo album ‘Deleted & Restored’, Eric Needs To Know will stand to answer those questions.

The title comes from having accidentally deleted a whole hard drive of audio work, covering about two years of production. After the initial shock, a bit of fishing around on the net found a piece of software that would repoint the flags to all the data, and thankfully with all the file names intact. Having backed up about half of the data things were looking good when the hard drive was dropped whilst moving it between two computers, damaging it irreparably and lost about a year of audio & video work ... nice!!!
