Album Notes & Community Reviews
Originally released in 1996 and later heavily reissued, this crucial EP introduced the duo to a wider electronic music audience just prior to their debut masterpiece. The tracks emphasize analog synthesizer decay, warbling tape effects, and intricate breakbeats. It firmly established their signature sound, bridging the gap between ambient isolationism and the rhythmic complexity of the Manchester IDM scene.
