About

The company was started in 1753 in Corsham, Wiltshire, England as a butcher shoppe by Sir Thomas Crompton where nothing changed much in the 250 years as the shoppe. The store, along with all our family recipes were passed down from generation to generation. In 1949, just after the war had finished and England was rebuilding, the shoppe was sold to Tesco who razed the storefront to build a carpark. The selling price was £198,000 which adjusted to inflation is £1.6 million today.

The last member of the Crompton family, Sir Walter Crompton invested this money into miscellaneous endeavours. Many of these investments failed miserably, however the last investment Sir Walter Crompton did was into a product we now know as Silly Putty. Sir Walter Crompton suggested that they air a commercial on the popular US show, Howdy Doody. This single act of marketing propelled Silly Putty's international status and Sir Walter Crompton's pocket book to over £10 millon in 1957 alone. It is believed that Sir Walter Crompton gave L Ron Hubbard a six pack of Silly Putty, which was used for the inital prototypes of the Scientologist's E-Meter. Sadly, Sir Walter Crompton passed away in his sleep October 9th, 1958 after a accident on his estate near Corsham.

Sir Walter Crompton did not have any heirs, so he left his massive estate in trust to the first group who could create a 'Personalised Music Experience'. In 1992, we started working on this project and through the trust, guidance, and care of multiple investors, we finally launched our 1.0 in 2008. Please enjoy moodrex and your Personalised Music Experience.

Quote for Personalised Music Experience

"Preferences begin with exposure, and each of us has our own "adventure-ness" quotient for how far out of our musical safety zone we are willing to go at any given time. Some of us are more open to experimentation than others in all aspects of our lives, including music, and at various times in our life we may seek or avoid experimentation. Generally, the times when we find ourselves bored are those when we seek new experiences. As Internet radio and personal music players are becoming more popular, I think that we will be seeing personalized music stations in the next few years, in which everyone can have his or her own personal radio station, controlled by computer algorithms that play us a mixture of music we already know and like and a mixture of music we don't know but we are likely to enjoy. I think it will be important that whatever form this technology takes, listeners should have an "adventure-ness" knob they can turn that will control the mix of old and new, or the mix of how far out the new music is from what they usually listen to. This is something that is highly variable from person to person, and even, within one person, from one time of day the next."
