    Following on from the release in March 2022 of Creek's remix/retrospective collection "Fake Leopard Coat", the band has been issuing its archive on Bandcamp. This is the 17th of a further 35 planned releases in the ongoing celebration of the 25th (now the 26th) anniversary of the Edinburgh Electronic Improvisational Quartet, which comprises Alan Brodie (Language Lab), Stuart Cobley (Ex-Capital Models), David Reilly (Cloudland Blue Quartet) and Craig Sutherland (Edward Spark). The records, LPs, EPs and singles, were mostly recorded live in the studio, with no overdubs, with sessions taking place between 1997 and 2019. They are being released in chronological order, with each one featuring a session from the quartet, or various configurations of its membership.

about

This is the 17th of over 30 planned archival releases from Crispycat Recordings by electronic improvisational quartet, Creek.

The intention is to put all of their works into the public domain by 2025.

While some of the earliest sessions were released on cassette via Reptile Records in Edinburgh in the late 90's, other than their one official LP, "Somewhere Between " (2004), which has been available on Bandcamp since 2014, any pieces that were made available, have been out of circulation for over 20 years, while, in the majority of cases, these improvisations have never been issued until now.

This 36 minute, four track LP comprises the 17th Creek session, the 7th of 1998. It was recorded just a week after Creek XVI (and so, the 6th consecutive weekly session), on a Tuesday evening in March, 1998, in the back shop at Reptile Records. This was the last ever session by the band at the shop, which closed in April 1998. After three sessions with only David Reilly and Stuart Cobley in attendance followed by one of the full band, like Creek XI, Creek XVII was recorded by the trio of Brodie, Cobley & Reilly.

With "End of the Art World" we come to the end of the first phase of Creek.
