Left Ear Records re-introduce another ten lost tracks from Nicholas Georgieff and Virgil Work, St Louis's basement electronics duo Workdub. The release spans material from 1989-95 and includes recordings from their sole LP (1989) and both cassette albums (released in 1992 and 1995). Workdub's music hardly fits into a vacuum and some might even say it's otherworldly. Tracks like "Reach For The Stars" and "Lunar Module" reflect dreams of space-age exploration, all the while their investigations into drum machines, synthesizers, samples and digital FXs matched with their organic live instrumentation work to create a unique atmospheric dubbed-out sound.

Music From Memory present a 12" of four tracks from Workdub's elusive privately released albums. Virgil Work Jr and Nicholas Georgieff developed Workdub through weekly improvised jam sessions. Georgieff experimented with rhythm programming, midi, digital effects and sound synthesis whilst Virgil would create intricate rhythm patterns for each song, playing various drum, percussion and synthesizer parts by hand. Together the pair combined ambient music with driving percussive rhythms and melody creating a very ethereal dubbed out instrumental sound which moves between funk, new wave and industrial music. Influenced by: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Wally Badarou, Kraftwerk and Larry Heard.
