From the booklet accompanying the Big Gold Dream box set (Cherry Red Records 2019)
“If Glasgow auteur Alex Fergusson‘s snappy piece of dancefloor synth-pop sounds like it was paving the way for Depeche Mode and Co., bear in mind that producer Larry Least was actually Daniel Miller, aka, The Normal and founder of Mute Records.
Fergusson had played with Sounds journalist Sandy Robertson as The Nobodies before forming Alternative TV with Sniffin’ Glue fanzine writer Mark Perry. As a producer, Fergusson also worked with Postcard-era Orange Juice and The Go-Betweens. He then joined Cash Pussies, the conceptual brainchild of journo provocateurs Fred and Judy Vormel, who released the Sid Vicious-sampling ‘99% Is Shit’.
For five years, he played with Genesis P. Orridge‘s cult collective, Psychic TV. Since his departure. Fergusson has released several albums, including 2001’s The Essence, which featured a guest vocal from former Strawberry Switchblade co-vocalist Rose McDowall.”
