The Vibeman

Working on some new Dance tunes and recording an Ambient CD for release in June 2008.Raised on a diet of Radio One, Pirate Radio and jukebox singles Dave Arnold accumulated a healthy liking of sex, drugs and alcohol. In 1978 formed his first band, punk rockers ABSA, composers of the classic punk anthem, We Want Speed On The National Health. 1980 saw the formation of The DEAD HIPPY label in Maidstone, Kent by Dave- the first release was from Dave’s newly formed indie experimental band, STARK - receiving good reviews from Sounds music magazine and distribution through Rough Trade and Bonaparte Records. The DEAD HAPPY RECORDS label was established in 1982, mainly as an outlet for Daves manic but prolific output! Dead Happy went on to release 38 varied projects featuring a hybrid of musical styles from the experimental strangeness of Daves solo work as The STARKMAN to the all-out psycho-sonic dramatic attack of the controversial and mystical TURN BLUE! 2000 saw the formation of Hastings collective VIBEZONE by Dave- the first release was from Dave’s new solo project - The VIBEMAN, a collection of cinematic synth soundtracks. VIBEZONE releases are an eclectic mixture of Daves solo projects and collaborations with various artistes, from Rock to Indie through Punk to Dance but continuing the strange ambience of Daves poetic artistic vision. more mp3s are available to listen free at- www.deadhappyrecords.co.uk www.vibezone.co.uk == artwork at - www.arnoldart.co.uk == poetry booklets - www.happyhouse.org.uk =================Illuminating the Free Spirit -The VIBEMAN ... ambient dance for mind & body...2007 Tracks from this CD have been featured on the experimental videos... + An Affair of Chemistry + Journey Through The Mind + Dream Machine all filmed and produced by DAVE ARNOLD. - See them on Youtube.SOLO music CDs -I’M A NATURAL CANDIDATE FOR THE TORTURED ARTISTE - THE STARKMAN,A WEIRD STRATEGY - THE STARKMAN,FOR ALL AND SUNDRY - THE STARKMAN,SCANTILY SCULPTURED - THE STARKMAN,STARK CONTRAST - THE STARKMAN,BENEFITS OF BALANCE - THE STARKMAN,THE BEACH FATIGUE REVIEW - THE STARKMAN,ASSORTED AND CONTORTED - THE STARKMAN,ODDBALLS - THE STARKMAN,DREAM SOUNDTRACKS - THE VIBEMAN,A STARK CONTRAST - THE STARKMAN,I WOULD, IF I COULD, IF I KNEW - THE STARKMAN,FREE SPIRIT - THE VIBEMAN,ILLUMINATION - THE VIBEMAN,HEART SOUL AND MIND - THE VIBEMAN,ILLUMINATING THE FREE SPIRIT - THE VIBEMAN,LOVE - DAVE ARNOLD.All Releases on the Dead Happy Records label and Vibezone......1983 - 2007 www.deadhappyrecords.co.uk www.vibezone.co.uk
