A key figure in the experimental, post punk Manchester music scene, Eric began by forming the rather short lived, now legendary Tiller Boys, whose name is still seen today on the iconic Factory poster which was designed by Peter Saville. 
Then in the early eighties, and working under the name Eric Random he received recognition not only for a number of album
and single releases of his own, on labels such as New Hormones, Double Vision and Les Disque du Crepuscule but also for his numerous collaborations with the likes of Cabaret Voltaire and with Nico of the [Velvet Underground] with whom he worked with for almost seven years. 
Eric is recording and performing work more akin to his electronic roots, with release of two albums Man Dog,Words Made Flesh and now his latest album Two Faced, all released on Viennese post
punk imprint Klanggalerie.
