Catalog #:	XL 113EP

1999 EP, last copies, reduced price. "Leila is from Persia, and moved to England in 1979, frequenting a variety of educational institutions culminating in a degree in Film/TV/Radio studies from Staffordshire. Leila DJed by night in the fertile musical oasis that was Stoke on Trent from 1990 to 1993, loved jazz, hip hop, and the rarest of grooves and thought that 'dance' music was sad. She changed her mind when she started hearing breakbeat hardcore, so she wrote her thesis on Dennis Hopper and got a 2:1, got a job playing keyboards on Bjork's Debut tour, got bored playing keyboards and mixed live on Bjork's Post tour. Then she came home to make some noise, was at home learning to use her studio, when some friends and family started singing with her. Luca came round and started singing, Donna had just written her first songs, so she came and sang, Roya was very upset one day and she sang a song. So Leila decided to release them on Aphex Twin's label, as he was a friend. She loves noise and hopes you enjoy."

2002 CDEP, last copies, reduced price. "The man behind the Capitol K moniker. Kristian Craig Robinson, after two warmly-received and limited edition vinyl releases on XL last year, is finally ready for his full assault on the mainstream with his new single, 'Pillow'. It's a work of cut-up and off-kilter pop genius, and is suitably accompanied by remixes from fellow leftfield artistes, Wagon Christ and Leafcutter John. As an added bonus, the full vocal mix of album track, 'Capitol Beat Sticky', is included on the vinyl release, having only previously been available on The Cosmic Forces Of Mu compilation double CD on Planet Mu."
