Often called the godfather of Irish electronic music, composer Roger Doyle will soon celebrate the 25th anniversary of his magnum opus, Babel, with a special vinyl.

Award-winning Irish electronic artist Roger Doyle says he will “keep going no matter what” as the composer readies for the 25th anniversary of his magnum opus, Babel.

A founding member of the experimental theatre company Operating Theatre, the artist’s track Spring is Coming With A Strawberry in My Mouth was recently covered by Canadian art pop icon Caroline Polachek. “And presumably, we all thought released properly but that second part didn't happen. They did a beautiful A and B-side, in 1985, which cost £1,000 a day, which U2 happily paid, we were thrilled of course.

“With that muscle behind us, that clout, you really thought maybe I would break through with this super A-side and B-side, which were so fresh in the 1980s, Queen of No Heart and Spring Is Coming. During the period that Roger was composing Babel, he did not release much new music, although Operating Theatre was active in performing avant-garde shows in unusual spaces.

“To an extent, I just keep composing, without really looking around too much, because if I stop, what's the analogy... is there an analogy there? If I stop, everything collapses? “That might have happened if I stopped composing. Even after Babel, which came out in July '99, I asked myself, ‘Will I stop now?’
