Bleep

Debut album from Sheffield innovators SND, first released on the soon-to-be revived Mille Plateaux label in 1999 now issued in pristine digital quality. Skeletal in make up, exquisite in sound, Mark Fell and Mat Steel are responsible for creating some of the most alien music of that and any era. Underneath the bubbling synth-pops and bursts are micro-rhythms haunted in from techno, house and abstract 2-step drum sequencing. Utterly necessary purchase for any followers of contemporary electronic music, see also their other two digitally released records out this week, stdio, Tender Love.
