Endgame are a British progressive electronic band from Leicester and essentially the successor group to industrial kosmische duo Alto Stratus. Endgame consist of synthesists and progressive rock historians/archivists Steve and Alan Freeman as well as multi-instrumentalist Jim Tetlow, with whom Alan previously worked in the psych band Shapeshifter. The group formed in 1999 after Tetlow and Freeman left Shapeshifter over differences in direction and recruited Steve, aiming to play entirely improvised electroacoustic work inspired by the more outre corners of krautrock, Berlin School and avant-garde classical.
With material gathered from regular 45-minute studio sessions and live shows, Endgame have nearly a hundred albums to their name, with a steady stream of CD-R and cassette releases from 1999 to 2014 issued through the Freeman brothers' label Auricle. The band's activity has quietened significantly since then, with only sporadic performances and albums but with their massive discography now archived on Bandcamp. Self-described as kosmische krautrock, Endgame's sound is a perfect amalgamation of their most crucial influences, namely the early experiments of Pink Floyd and Tangerine Dream, as well as Lightwave, Conrad Schnitzler, Taj Mahal Travellers, Agitation Free, Kluster, Morphogenesis, Holger Czukay, Nurse With Wound and Karlheinz Stockhausen. Official discography and band history: http://ultimathulerecords.com/endgame.html (As their discography is terrifyingly large - it took me at least two years to get through it - I'm only listing a handful of releases, namely their handy sampler album Kaleidoscope and a few personal favourites which will hopefully give the team an accurate idea of their sound. It goes without saying I'll be happy to help add their records to the archives if they get accepted): "Kaleidoscope" (2014 sampler of fifteen of their LPs) "Stretched Across the Sea" (1999) "Catalyst" (2000) "A Witness to Madness" (2005) "Elemental Traveller" (2007) "Euphoria" (2003) "Shipwrecked" (2004) "Liquid Time" (2019)
