Gmail and the Restraining Orders cover art

Initially broadcast as an obscure live radio mix on Warp Records' NTS takeover years prior to its official release, this 28-minute continuous piece stands as the hip-hop trio's most deeply impenetrable noise collage. MC Ride's heavily distorted, shrieking vocals are violently splintered and buried beneath an unrelenting barrage of chaotic, improvisational drum triggers. The project abandons nearly all traditional structure for sheer, terrifying volume and avant-garde intensity.
