"Requesting that their identities remain unknown, the enigmatic Dr. Ludlow & Mr. Smith release another solid, 5-track EP, that highlights their humor and some seriously, seriously skewed atmospherics. Where their previous 12" offered a poppier, more floor-friendly exercise, 'Rinsin With The Doctor' drags their sound to a darker, more twisted zone. 'Do You Like Trains' sees its producer babbling insanely across a tense field of rippling, slowly building synth-loops. 'A Tribute to Roger Hammond' is a brief, percussive sketch dissolving into itself. 'Tall Buildings' is a massive, towering track of gritty overspill-noise, mangled voices and squelchy, phat, fucked-up hiphop dynamics. Stunningly produced." Little bird whisperings say this is Andrew Weatherall solo & why not. Limited stock, deleted item.

"Sixth installment in Fat Cat's split series. Featuring a head to head from Anthony Child/Andrew Read versus Speedranch Jansky Noise. Anthony is better known for his minimalistic techno as Surgeon. Jansky is an alias of V/VM's Andy MacGregor, while Speedranch is their fellow conspirator and freaky operator/DJ. Anthony and Andrew deliver an icy, isolationist void-scape, while Speedranch Jansky Noise makes moves into breakbeat territory -- breaking out and deranging a hip hop break, before dissolving it into layers of gritty noise."

"First release from this much talked about instrumental 4-piece from Bristol. With three highly charged tracks this is a rollercoaster ride of intense or immense proportions with a nod to band's such as Hovercraft, Slint, Sonic Youth, etc. Takes you an emotional journey, by the time it peaks you are firmly within its swollen, heart wrenching grasp, which refuses to let go."

"The fifth installment in FatCat's split12" series, Bannlust vs. Chasm shifts the emphasis back onto electronix, and merges two markedly different sounds and takes on construction. Chasm is an alias for Robert Hampson, former singer/guitarist with the late-80s guitar noiseniks Loop, and still working under his awesome dark ambient guise as Main. In the Chasm incarnation, Hampson pares away his usual layered guitar-drones in favour of a more fractured, beat-based approach. Lovingly labored over, the three tracks are created through a micro-engineered process of close-microphone recording and concrete experimentation. On the flipside, Bannlust is the project of Marco Fischer. In early '98, Marco released his first album as Bannlust on the ultra-hip Viena label, Sabotage. Entitled Digital Tension, this worked a space somewhere between the complex fractured leftfield electronica of Autechre and the dark (increasingly vogue) European electro of underground producers like I-F, Electronome and Le Car. The three tracks provided here form a moody, but mesmeric machine-space of cavernous crunch pulses, digital glitches, stuttering rhythms, and most audibly, towering washes of dirty, electro-synth noise."

"Requesting that their identities remain unknown, the enigmatic Dr. Ludlow & Mr. Smith mark their collaborative debut for Fat Cat with a potentially massive 4 track EP. Based around a (Depth Charge-y) Western atmosphere, ricocheting gunshots and classic widescreen samples, 'Ugly' offers a staggering, seriously radio/dancefloor friendly take on Morricone. On a mellower vibe, 'Hank' is a cut up '90s rehash of a slick, sleazy '70s porno funk track that squirms and slides with dirty intent. Besides these two storming tracks are a further two that highlight the humorous side of Ludlow and Smith's persona. 'I Hope You Like Mice' is comprised entirely of Rolf Harris samples. And in keeping with Grain's previous releases the EP also features a confused essay on the art of telephone wind ups called 'Neil Phones Clive via Akai'. Limited stock, deleted item.

1998 release. "Mystery (?) single from this unknown artist, involving minimal Latin percussion DJ-Tool additives on the 'A' side, and 2 percussion-based pulse tracks on the flip. If anyone out there holds the key to unlocking the riddle that is this record, please dial us up. At any hour. We'd really like to know what's going on for once." --Hrvatski. [a kind soul forwarded us the following: "Sir Eddie Real (aka Sir Eddie 'Congaman' Love) is the percussionist from Alabama 3 or A3 as they're known in the US. The Realistics is an alternative project that he's involved in with a few other musicians from Brixton, London.]
