On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

Sandoz was one of the most prominent solo monikers of Richard H. Kirk since 1992. After Caberet Voltaire, Kirk focussed on solo projects such as Sandoz & Sweet Exorcist, his collaboration with Richard Barratt (aka DJ Parrot). With Sandoz he had the most post CV success.  As Sandoz, Kirk produced (after twenty years of listening to Jamaican music) contemporary electronic Dance music with Jamaican Reggae / Dub influences as well as other ethnic styles. 

 



In 2021 Richard H. Kirk died. His label, Mute, confirmed the news, giving no cause of death. Kirk was 65 years old.

Here's one of his earlier releases using the Sandoz nom de musique after a series of singles & EPs. Intensely Radioactive...
