Angular Recording Corporation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Angular Recording Corporation is an independent record label based in New Cross, South East London. Set up in June 2003 by two ex-Goldsmith's College students, who reclaimed a local Ordnance Survey Triangulation Station and made it their first artefact: ARC 001. The label's founders claim to have been influenced by a love of angular pop music and the legendary Manchester label Factory Records. Gaining funding through medical testing, Angular Recording Corporation was able to finance its debut release in November 2003, the NME championed 'The New Cross : An Angular Sampler'. This compilation included tracks by the soon-to-be famous Bloc Party, Art Brut, Ladyfuzz and The Vichy Government among others.
