Superzapper Recharge used to frequently do tape-loop ambient music. At this point, Blake William mostly does these performances solo under his own name. Superzapper Recharge started out as an improvisational free-for-all that was sometimes solo, sometimes a band, sometimes ambient, and sometimes noise-rock mayhem. Andrew Wayne frequently appeared and was in the first proper line up of the rock band. Documented here are the 2 album releases Superzapper Recharge made as an ambient tape-loop project. Superzapper Recharge will not be returning to this format.
