Bradley's Robot is an EP by Richard D. James under the alias Bradley Strider (referred to as Strider. B. on the label).

Contents

The EP was pressed in 12" vinyl format and does not come in a picture sleeve, but rather is housed within a (folded) 92.4 x 121.9 cm glossy green print on silver RePhLeX poster. The following message is etched in the record's run-out groove, on Side A: "PYJAMAS". [1]

On 9 May 2015, a version of the second track on side A was posted on James's SoundCloud under the name "27 leaving home - bradley". [2] ; later that year, he released a track titled "NgaiModu - Bradley Strider" that matched the first track on side A, with comments that it was originally from 1992/1993. [3] In 2023, the anthology Happy Land: A Compendium Of Alternative Electronic Music From The British Isles 1992-1996 was released on Above Board records, featuring side B, track 1, named "Linmiri ≠ Bradley Stryder". The anthology focused on music released during the debate over the 1994 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act, which among other things targeted raves. [4]
