ICR - Tapes

IC Studio and ICR Distribution have been in existence for over twenty years. They are two separate but overlapping entities run primarily by Colin Potter.
"Integrated Circuit Records & Integrated Circuit Studio… the name seemed like a good idea over 25 years ago but it was soon realised it was too much of a mouthful & we were left with ICR & IC Studio. Much better.

The first release, ICR 001, was a record, the compilation LP ‘We couldn’t agree on a title’. Again that seemed like a good idea at the time... The next few releases were cassettes (remember them?) promoting the dubious ‘musical’ career of one Colin Potter. The studio moved from a bedroom into an outbuilding & became a modest 4-track. It was the dawn of the DIY era, anti-music, the tape underground, call it what you will. It grew, a little bit, more cassettes & the odd record were released & ICR became ICR Distribution promoting other fellow-travellers from near & far.

The studio became an 8-track, bigger & better & became known as a safe & sensible place for ‘unusual’ sound producers to go. The arrival of 2 small babies however, meant that something had to give, they’re being only 24 hours in the day. So sadly, ICR Distribution was put on ice. The studio meanwhile continued to improve, becoming 16 track, gathering many unusual sound making & processing devices & not being afraid to use them. Several years passed & the studio found itself no longer in a small village in Yorkshire but in a converted Victorian water tower in Lancashire. After a period of re-adjustment, an even better studio was fashioned. The 2 small babies had grown up, CDs & CDRs were suddenly a lot less costly to produce & ICR Distribution reared its head again. As before, it started small but grew much faster this time due to the power of the internet.

And here we are today. Older but possibly not much wiser. Still persisting with doing things our way. That’s the way we like it. We hope you do too."
