Electro Assassin was a musical endeavor based in London, led by composer Kevin Gould, who previously worked with Johnson Engineering Co. From 1990 until 1994, vocalist Ian Taylor was part of the project. The ensemble produced three albums: Jamming the Voice of the Universe (1992), Bioculture (1993), and The Divine Invasion (1995).
History
Electro Assassin was established in London in 1990 by Kevin Gould as a platform for his individual compositions, initially featuring Ian Taylor as the lead singer. Their first album, Jamming the Voice of the Universe, was launched in 1992 under the labels Hyperium Records and Concrete Productions. The subsequent release, Bioculture (1993), also on Hyperium, represented Taylor’s last involvement with the group.
In 1995, the album The Divine Invasion was released through Synthetic Symphony and Cyber-Tec Records, with Richard McKinlay taking over vocal duties. That year also saw Fifth Colvmn Records reissue this album for the U.S. market.
Currently, Kevin Gould produces music under the Nexus Project name, distributing it via Rebel Scum Productions on Bandcamp.
