Ike Yard’s minimalist funk pulse surfaced in 1981 with the Night After Night - EP on the Belgian Crepescule label. They changed modes a bit with electroid tech innovations on the Factory America Album in 1982 and performed with Suicide, Lydia Lunch’s 13:13, The Del - Byzanteens, Factory’s Section 25 and with New Order at Ukrainian National Home. The Acute Records Ike Yard: 1980 - ’82 Collected re-release last year, combined with the IY tracks on London’s Soul Jazz post - No wave / proto - electro collection New York Noise 3 made conditions ripe for the group to reactivate and begin creating new sounds, songs and music. Original members Stuart Argabright, Kenneth Compton and Michael Diekmann on the synths, keyboards, drum machinima, vocals, Korg Vocoder, bass and guitars
