Background notes

Archive material and source history

Optiganally Yours was an English experimental group that formed in the early 1970s. They were known for using the Optigan, an electro-mechanical keyboard that produced unusual, somewhat lo-fi sounds. The band included Andy Tillison on keyboards and vocals, Nic Potter on bass, Dave Stewart on guitars and keyboards, and Mike Giles on drums.

Their music blended electronic elements with the Canterbury progressive rock style, creating tracks like "Compressorexpander" and "Figaro" that felt both melodic and oddly textured. They released three albums between 1970 and 1972: a self-titled debut, "Shleep," and "Music for a Garden."

Their sound was never particularly commercial, partly due to the Optigan's technical limitations and their own experimental approach. Some listeners in the Canterbury scene found their work too unconventional or derivative, which kept them from wider recognition at the time.
