James' other music performance
credits
Outside of Left Orbit Temple, James' recordings
include:
"Left Orbit Tadpole": Fifty-two unreleased songs
recorded in the early years. Some of this material was
performed live as
Flat Earth Society. The
highlight of these gigs was opening for
Front 242.
The Ice-Nine EP is the beginning of Left Orbit
Temple. Four tunes recorded at Chicago Trax by James,
Danny McGuiness, Charles Levi, Kyle Woodring, Mike Armes, Felix
Miklik, and additional guests.
While working with Martin Atkins and Invisible Records, James
contributed keyboards to Atkins' remix of
Copper Theft
by
Monster Voodoo Machine, and was a co-writer on the
Club Dead video game soundtrack and on
An
Industrial Christmas Carol. James also
performed as a member of industrial supergroup
Pigface (
for about
fifty shows in the 1990s), and appears in their
Son of a Glitch DVD
release. Prior to that, he was a founding member of the
legendary Cleveland postpunk group
Evil Clowns, and
was briefly a member of
Pangaea.
James also provided sound design and music for a pile of
corporate logo animations, and composed about three dozen
instrumental scores for industrial and janitorial training
films, but we shan't discuss those further.
