# Global Communication

Global Communication is an electronic music duo consisting of Tom Middleton and Mark Pritchard; the duo have also recorded under other aliases, including Reload and Jedi Knights. They founded the labels Evolution Records and Universal Language Productions. Their 1994 album 76:14, released on Dedicated Records, became an acclaimed work of 1990s ambient and electronic music.

## Biography

The duo's work as Global Communication focused on warmer rhythms and ambience in comparison to their recordings as Reload, which were eerie but danceable. They have also recorded as Jedi Knights, Secret Ingredients, The Chameleon, Link, and E621. The duo have produced remixes for various artists under each of their aliases, including a 1993 Reload remix of "On" by Aphex Twin and a 1997 Jedi Knights remix of "Home" by Depeche Mode.
They revived the Global Communication name in 2006 for the mix album Fabric 26.
Their song "5:23" features on the Grand Theft Auto 4 radio station The Journey.
