JOHN BALANCE
We are stunned and saddened beyond words by the sudden tragic death of our dear friend Geoff (John Balance).
There are no words to describe the sense of loss we feel for his unique spirit. We will cherish forever the pleasure and laughter he gave us from his presence and his long conversations on the meanings and meanderings of life itself. Our hearts and embraces go out to Sleazy and Ian. Chris & Cosey

CTI STUDIO
The refurbishment of our CTI studio (S47UK) is now about 90% complete. We have scaled down our equipment and sold a lot of our old gear (some went back as far as TG) and streamlined our work area as much as possible. The overbearing bulk of equipment and machines we had previously was threatening to fall down around our ears, literally. Photos we've posted of the new layout don't show much instrumentation (guitars, mics, cornet, drum pads, effects units etc.) as these are now stored in cupboard space we've built down one side of the room. The new space is much lighter and airy and has a really good vibe and we have already returned to working on projects we postponed before the refit.
NEW DISTRIBUTION for CTI
CTI are pleased to announce that from the beginning of September our CD catalogue will be
distributed worldwide by CARGO RECORDS.
