Standing as an absolute outlier on their traditionally ethereal record label, this dynamic debut aggressively embraced soul, reggae, and early club music cultures. The self-titled album heavily utilized groundbreaking digital sampling technology, weaving disparate vocal clips, sound effects, and heavy dub basslines into highly polished, synthesized pop structures. Their highly innovative approach to plunderphonics directly foreshadowed the massive explosion of British sampling and dance music in the late 1980s.
