Title:	One Third Standard Lux
Label:	MODERN LOVE (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	LOVE 002CD

"Bitstream is the brothers Steve and Dave Conner, born in the mid 70's in a small town in Northamptonshire, England. Compiling some of Bitstream's rarest material to date alongside their best known work, One Third Standard Lux is a perfect starting point from which to establish the importance the brothers Conner have had on the British electro scene over the last few years. Originally championed by the Autechre-related Skam label in Manchester and their pioneering DJ Rob Hall, Bitstream have been releasing innovative and complex electronic music to an ever-growing audience of dedicated followers. Their love of experimental music is also proudly on display, vocal treatments on the harrowing 'Lost Cluster' and 'Madame Resonance' showing this to most devastating effect, while the unadulterated crunchy euphoria of the classic 'Radiotherapy' acts as the perfect album opener. With a formidable catalogue of releases to date for labels like City Centre Offices and their own Pylon Recordings, Bitstream transcend the confines of the electronic dancefloor through to a much broader spectrum of sound. One Third Standard Lux is the definitive retrospective of that particular sound."

Title:	Domestic Economy 7
Label:	MODERN LOVE (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	LOVE 011CD

"Brothers Steve and Dave Conner have long been at the forefront of uncompromising electronic music -- though this is, remarkably, their debut full-length album. Their output so far has been confined to a series of blistering 12"s and EP's that have re-configured the bearings of squashed electro as it collides with old school hip hop -- owed in no small part to Steve's prize-winning turntable dexterity. Their output has also, through a deep infatuation with the choral genius of Penderecki and Ligeti, owed much to the haunting Weltanschauung of modern science fiction -- in particular to the monolithic imagery of Kubrik's 2001 A Space Odyssey. Across these 11 tracks Steve and Dave are finally able to expand their ideas into a full narrative, much like their Detroit-bound aquatic operators sometimes known as Drexciya."

Title:	The Severed EP
Label:	TOUCHIN' BASS (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	TB 034EP

"Long-awaited 4-tracker from the very talented electro contortionists Bitstream. Brothers Steve and Dave Connor have been releasing 12"s as Bitstream since 1998. Using a mixture of analog and digital gear, their music has been influenced by many different styles and appeared on labels like Signal, Modern Love, City Centre Offices and of course, Touchin' Bass. In 2005, a selection of their initial releases was compiled to form their debut album Domestic Economy 7 on Modern Love. Over the last couple of years, apart from their fantastic Depeche Mode remixes, things have been a bit quiet on the Bitstream front, so it's with great pleasure that Touchin' Bass present this latest piece of finery."
