We like Nervous Test Pilot so much we used his music on the first ever trail for our local music show The Download. That alone would make him a living legend if only he wasn't one already.

By Tim Bearder

It's 2004 and in a little tent in the middle of a field near Steventon, Nervous Test pilot's Paul Taylor is smashing to pieces a tiny object with batteries.

Try not to imagine it - he'd be disappointed you pandered to the visual medium that I tried to conjure up.

Paul is Nervous Test Pilot. I can't show you his picture here because he wanted us to show his computer in the rain. It's so that nothing can detract from the music - I think.

Like I say, I saw him first at Truck but for reasons described in the interview he was creating a wall of devilish sound. He first really caught my ear with a track called Hello Daddy on A Catholic Education CD released by local record label Freedom Road Records.

He's now working on computer game sound tracks and other euro-pop dance rave anthems. Visit his website for more details or click the button above to listen to the madness.
