Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon
Sweet Exorcist was a British music duo consisting of Richard Barratt (DJ Parrot) and Richard H. Kirk. Their sound is usually categorized as techno and IDM.
Sweet Exorcist, which was named after a Curtis Mayfield track, was the project of Sheffield-based musicians Richard H. Kirk (Cabaret Voltaire) and Richard ‘DJ Parrot’ Barratt (later a member of All Seeing I).
Kirk and Barratt knew each other since the mid-1980s. Barratt had already supported a Cabaret Voltaire tour of the UK in 1986. After both worked on several tracks together, Parrot suggested making a club track with studio test tones. In January 1990, the tracks were released as "Testone" on Warp. It defined the bleep techno sound, by making playful use of sampled sounds from Yellow Magic Orchestra's Computer Game (1978) and the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977). The next release was "Clonk", also on Warp. For both singles, remix versions were released.
In 1991, the duo released the C.C.E.P., which later came as a CD version, C.C.C.D. and was also known as Clonks Coming. The band released the album Spirit Guide to Low Tech on Touch Records.
2011 saw the release of the compilation album RetroActivity on Warp.
