Thank you for listening to these transmissions and for your support. There will be minimum of one new monthly release ongoing, some public but many subscriber only exclusives of at least 10 minutes. Expect new recordings, previously unreleased archive material, much of it from 1981-1997, new live in studio one off performance videos, & rare compilation tracks.

Illusion of Safety is still here after 40 years and thanks to prodding by Phillipe Petit (modulisme.bandcamp.com/music) and Arvo Zylo (nopartofit.bandcamp.com) we are back in the game. Plenty planned for the 40th anniversary and beyond, many OLD unreleased recordings as well as new compositions in the pipeline. Both new and old videos no one has seen since live performances of the 80's & 90's are being issued at our YouTube on a monthly basis (www.youtube.com/@illusionofsafety/videos). At least 3 new issues forthcoming for this year on various labels. A number of side projects, new and old are immanent. Join us for the ride will you?

Here’s what you get:

Illusion of Safety

Elgin, Illinois

Since 1983, Burke and his many conspirators under the IOS banner have over the course of 40+ releases traversed most every facet of the avant sound plane, from early industrial pop deconstruction to blindingly minimal sound art to densely surreal found-sound collage, creating uneasy music that is dense and dystopian and yet also beautiful.
