Transcontinental collaborative project featuring Judge and American artist Steve Defoe. Two very different musicians sharing a bizarre vision, and making a music that is difficult to describe but, once heard, is even more difficult to forget.
They Say:
…”We listened to it yesterday and I think it’s a great, strange, funny and entertaining cd. somewhere between beach boys, residents, ivor cutler and sunn o)))…”
…”Some great sounds”…”I love it”…”Reminded me of Frank Zappa’s Lumpy Gravy”…
…”A seven year-old fan in Denmark – loves L-RAD and can sing most of it from memory. The balloon and kissing songs are particular favorites”…

L-RAD is a transcontinental collaborative project featuring Judge and American artist Steve Defoe, of The Larry Mondello Band.
Their album ‘Long-Range Audio Device’ is an extraordinary fusion of wildly contrasting skills; two very different musicians sharing a common vision (or rather, a distinctly uncommon, in fact downright bizarre, vision) and making a music that is difficult to describe but, once heard, is even more difficult to forget.
L-RAD’s music is more radical than Judge’s previous work.
Very weird, quite accessible…
Words fail…Hear samples…
The ‘Long-Range Audio Device’ CD is presented in a high-quality Digipack format and includes a fold-out double-sided poster.
