Leer & Rental Interviews : Thomas Leer

Discussing the recording of Leer & Rental's 1979 album, The Bridge (amongst other things).
Made as part of a series of interviews for the Exhibition 'From the Port to the Bridge'

I have most of Thomas work and believe he is the best Scottish artist ever

[@royceharper6001]

Wonderful to hear Leer's take on the recording, Bob, TG, the scene around them, everything! The Bridge is a uniquely brilliant album

[@morkygorky]

"Monochrome Days" is such a great song, and then there's his "Scale of Ten" album which should have been a massive hit. And let's not forget his collaboration with Claudia Brücken in Act! - I've played that to death, their voices combined so well: Leers deep croon, and Claudia on her most expressive vocals ever... Thank God for Thomas Leer!

Just been re listening to Scale of Ten , brilliant stuff. Wish there was a 12inch version of Heartbeat on cd/ streaming,which I thought was fabulous. Act were great too.

Excelent interview what a legend cheers.

The Scale of Ten was my entry to your music. Always liked your singing voice! Thanks

The second side of The Bridge is sublime - by far the best stuff either/both of these guys ever did.

The Bridge, is a great album.

[@weepomineeyesmusic]

Thank you for this..great insight behind the Bridge. Such an influential album for me...would not be an electronic musician if it was not for you and Robert...

[@NTRSN-Archive]

This album is so great . I m curious what for fx pedal it is on the album pictures ( on the backside from the EDP Wasp ).

[@TrevorBarre]

Leer's '1979' is the one.

[@TrevorBarre]

The mouth movements remind me of Mark E. Smith.

I like 'Attack/Delay' and 'Monochrome Day'. The rest is more wobbly, imho.
