Dissident Coloured edition

GLOK is the electronic solo project from Andy Bell of shoegaze legends RIDE.

His debut album under the moniker, Dissident, was originally released last year on a limited edition cassette by Bytes, an offshoot of Ransom Note Records.

The name GLOK is a misspelling of the German word for Bell. The German connection fits well as

there is a strong Krautrock influence in the music, especially on the title track, 'Dissident', an epic

clocking in just shy of the 20-minute mark, which blends synthwave, minimalism, trance, Detroit techno

and John Carpenter soundtracks, with Andy even dropping in some killer John Squire-esque guitar licks.
