IN THE NURSERY
ITN formed in 1981, releasing their debut mini-album, When Cherished Dreams Come True',
in 1983, and the 12" single 'Sonority'
and various contributions to compilations over the next two
years. These formative years saw ITN developing their unique
sound based around a backbone of percussion and military snare drum,
which next produced the 12" 'Temper', their
first recording for the new Sweatbox label. Personnel changes ensued
and ITN were stripped down to the writing nucleus of twin brothers
Klive and Nigel Humberstone. 1986 saw the release of their
first full length album, 'Twins', which
hinted at the distinctive classical influences that were being
taken on board.
In 1987 ITN were augmented by military snare drummer Q and multi-lingual vocalist Dolores Marguerite C, for the 12" 'Trinity' and album 'Stormhorse'. Intended as a soundtrack to an imaginary film, the album stands as a seminal work of combined technological and instrumental arrangement. Interspersed with European touring, ITN strove further with their final Sweatbox recordings, the 12" 'Compulsion' and album 'Köda'.
1989 saw the group move to Third Mind Records and teh release of 'L'Esprit', one of their most sophisticated and refined classical works. 'Sense' (1991) and 'Duality' (1992) followed, two works which again highlighted the 'filmic' nature of their music - an aspect which was utilised in 'An Ambush Of Ghosts' (1993), their first feature film soundtrack.
ITN's first album with Third Mind/Roadrunner Records was 'Anatomy Of A Poet' in 1994, by which time their own ITN Corporation label had already been established.
Amidst various film related projects ('Interview with the Vampire' & 'Streetfighter II') and commissions in 1995, ITB released 'Scatter', a retrospective compilation that documented their varied career. New avenues were explored with the Les Jumeaux side-projects and 'Feathercut' album in 1996, shortly followed by ITN's 10th studio album 'Deco'; and organic collection of songs that paid homage to the Art Deco movement of the 1920's.
Most recently ITN have been involved with creating and performing a new score for the classical silent film 'The Cabinet of Dr Caligari', also released as a soundtrack.
