There are few acts in the UK with as strong an influence and as complex a legacy as Transglobal Underground. For over 25 years it’s been a DJ/musical collective, one of the founders of global fusion, a working band famous for it’s scorching live shows, a techno soundsystem, a folk festival rabble rouser, a pop group, a club night, a Middle Eastern hit production team, an improvised study group for Indian classical music, an Albanian brass band, a duo..or was it an octet?…a seminar, a medicine show and several things no one involved would admit to if they could even remember them.

“We’ve needed this for a long time “ – Henry Miller, author of Tropic of Cancer
“The funniest, most incisive social critic around.” – Riane Eisler, author of The Chalice and the Blade
“Erudite, witty and genuinely scary ” – Publishers Weekly
Prometheus Rising describes the landscape of human evolution and offers the listener an opportunity to become a conscious participant. In an astoundingly useful road map infused with humor and startling insight, Robert Anton Wilson presents the eight circuits of the brain model as an essential guide for the effort to break free of imprinted and programmed behavior. Bob writes, "We are all giants, raised by pygmies, who have learned to walk with a perpetual mental crouch. Unleashing our full stature–our total brain power–is what this book is all about.”
“Robert Anton Wilson is one of the leading thinkers of the modern age.” – Barbara Marx Hubbard, Foundation for Conscious Evolution
“A dazzling barker hawking tickets to the most thrilling tilt-a-whirls and daring loop-o-planes on the midway of higher consciousness.” – Tom Robbins, author of Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Jitterbug Perfume and other great books

Ford Timelord by Flinton Chalk and The Project to Uncover Ancient Hill Figures.
Iron Man Records works with the artist Flinton Chalk of the band TC Lethbridge. After many years of discussion and a true odyssey to track down the missing photographs, Iron Man Records produced the first in a series of limited edition 50cm x 70cm Lithographic Prints, limited to a signed run of 111 copies. These prints are available only to Patrons.
TC Lethbridge’s claims regarding the existence of Ancient Hill Figures on Wandlebury Hill in Cambridgeshire caused significant controversy within the archaeological community, with most archaeologists believing that Lethbridge had erroneously misidentified a natural feature. Lethbridge’s methodology and theories were widely deemed unorthodox, and in turn he became increasingly critical of the archaeological profession. The area of Wandlebury Hill has been described as a neolithic ritual landscape.
Ford Timelord has returned to work in the neolithic ritual landscape to help raise funds to substantiate TC Lethbridge's claims. With regard to the existence of Ancient Hill figures on Wandlebury Hill, Ford Timelord will demonstrate the methodology and theories of TC Lethbridge are Justified.
A big thank you to Martin Bond, Gerv and all at Mission Print and Flinton Chalk for their dilligent work to complete this task. A big thank you to all Iron Man Records Patrons, and Darren Tyler of Searching for The White Room / The KLF, your help has been instrumental in making this project happen. Thank you.
111 Lithographic Prints have been signed and numbered by Flinton Chalk. These prints are helping to raise essential funds for the Project to Uncover Ancient Hill Figures on Wandlebury Hill, Cambridgeshire.
23 reasons to become an Iron Man Records Patron.
Whoever controls the internet servers, controls the intellectual record of humankind. And by controlling the intellectual record of humankind, you control our perceptions of who we are. When all music is digital, all independence will cease. Iron Man Records would like to release all new music on Vinyl.
"The primary goal of government propaganda is to undermine our faith in everything. Not just our belief in particular stories in the news, but our trust in the people who are telling the stories, the platforms, and fact-based reality itself."- Douglas Rushkoff
Thank you for your support if you are already a Patron. The next task is to find the others. Please share Iron Man Records on Patreon as widely as you can.
As music listening habits have changed, so too has everything in the marketplace. Income streams that once supported musicians and all those involved, have become increasingly difficult to access and maintain. Making new music is expensive, and some artists can wait 20 years to get any return on their work. Some never see any return at all.
Musicians face brutal working conditions. The cost of living crisis, the ongoing impact of a global Pandemic, and Brexit all threaten the future of independent music making. Recent research from Help Musicians confirms that 9 out of ten musicians are worried about being able to afford food to eat, and more than 80% are concerned about paying their bills, rent or mortgage. Close to half of all professional musicians think they may be forced to leave the industry altogether. Musicians desperately need a broad range of support to help them navigate the financial, career-building and mental health challenges they currently face.
Iron Man Records works hard to give music, and the musicians who make it, a value. A little financial help from you, and others, could make a big difference at a critical time. By supporting Iron Man Records as a Patron you will help the record label to continue to release new music.
In other news, most of the Patreon Tiers now offer a FREE Trial. If you want to join in and find out what it's all about, now is the time.
Music will find a way. United we stand. We have to make the world we want to live in. Try to stay positive and there's good things ahead. All we have to do now is find the others to share with.
