"Joe Meek Freak Beats" always show up when I google meekfreak, which I do once in a long while ever since I had adopted "meekfreak" as a handle since 1999 (it was during the mIRC days). I'd always wondered about him and thought he was a musician from the US. But now, perhaps because internet has really grown and more information is made available, I finally got to read him up and listen to his works.
Joe Meek was a british music producer in the 50s to 60s. He was an indie producer and would experiment with all the electronic sounds.
It feels more than a little strange that I feel a strong sense of affinity, not just in the indie, experimental approach... not just in the similarity of our tastes, but in a sentimental, curious, eerie way. I listen to his music and watch some of the videos and feel that these are things that I would like and was curious about before.

joe meek was britains foremost independent record producer of the late 50's early 60's...second to none in his recording techniques & equipment he understood sound and it's recording...he recorded so many singers & artists that's it's almost impossible to cataloque just what he did...I have had to edit a small section out of this documentary due to youtube 'restrictions' but am sure it will not spoil your enjoyment....
