Album Notes & Community Reviews

An iconic EP from the enigmatic Scottish electronic duo, released between their classic albums 'Music Has the Right to Children' and 'Geogaddi'. The four-track release is thematically linked to the Branch Davidian religious sect, with samples and melodic motifs referencing the cult and its leader. It is celebrated for its signature blend of warm, nostalgic analog synth melodies, intricate beats, and a subtly unsettling, pastoral atmosphere.
