Biography

Heligoland was the studio aegis of Tim Friese-Greene, who was best known for his keyboard and production work as a pseudo-official member of Talk Talk. Also accomplished as a producer for the likes of the Records and Lush, and later on as a near-permanent associate of Catherine Wheel, it wasn't until 1998 that he struck out on his own, quietly issuing 1,000 copies of his Creosote and Tar EP through his management at Sanctuary Music via mail order. A proper Heligoland full-length appeared at the end of 2000, sounding further removed from Talk Talk than his previous EP release. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
