blurb:
As the crowds fight to get their hands on a copy of 'Wienn/Srez', EU's (7" only) ambient almost enoid electronic excursion; EU return with the 'Reframing' EEP (that's Extended EP.. or err.. mini-album if you prefer!). Eight pulsing tracks of pure technoid hiccup, lush soundscapes, stuttering insect beats and vocal ululations (Wienn).
Wienn and Srez (both contained on Reframing) received support and plays from Don Mecca of Radio John Peel, and a Breezeblock outing courtesy of Queen of eclectic righteousness Mary Anne Hobbs, she also dubbed the record "a lovely thing.." and she was right, and a particularly nice man at NME, awarded it single of the week, ahead of that ragamuffin Roni Size tune...Result! Simultaneously gathering praise (like a rolling stone..) from the likes of Sleaze Nation, Seven, DJ, Ministry and reassuringly expensive style bible Pure. Along the way the double-a-side single managed to pick up healthy comparisons to the likes of Boards Of Canada, Aphex Twin and even David Bowie's 'Warszawa' and 'Sense Of Doubt'...mustn't grumble.
Enough name checking, take a listen and keep your ear to the floor for more.
