Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following their departure from the ZTT label, the British avant-pop ensemble continued to aggressively exploit the sampling capabilities of the Fairlight CMI. The album juxtaposes heavy, fragmented hip-hop beats with bizarre sound collages and iconic pop culture interpolations, most notably featuring Duane Eddy on 'Peter Gunn'.
