One of the outside projects by guitarist Bruce Gilbert and vocalist Edvard Graham Lewis of London-based industrial bands, Dome and Wire, Duet Emmo was conceived with and produced by Daniel Miller, owner of independent, synth pop record label, Mute. The heavily electronic Duet Emmo experiment was canceled shortly after releasing a progressive rock album, Or So It Seems, featuring the 17-minute, texturally intense "Long Sledge," in 1982. Gilbert continued to record for Miller's label, releasing This Way in 1984, The Shivering Man in 1987, Insiding in 1991, and Ab Ovo in 1996. He later worked with Paul Kendall and Robert Hampson. Miller produced Wire's comeback album, Snakedrill, in 1986. ~ Craig Harris
