Åyusp is a collaboration between Sheffield based musicians Graham McElearney and Paul Mills, born out of a common love for their favourite German electronic music, influenced in particular by the mighty Tangerine Dream (in particular, the classic line up with Peter Baumann in the mid 70s), along with Neu, Harmonia, Kraftwerk, Ash Ra Temple, Klaus Schultz, Popol Vuh, etc.

In addition to working on their own material, Åyusp have also been doing a bit of sonic archaeology along the way, and have recreated an excerpt from Tangerine Dream's 1975 York Minster gig, which up to now has only existed in bootleg form.
