Got it! Got it! Very lucky to grab a promo CD of this in Brum for UKP 10 at the
weekend! Pretty much what you'd expect if you know "Wilmot" and the previous
single "Theme" (both included) - lots of slow metallic dubby atmospheric
grooves, with influences from the jazzy side of things, ambient interludes,
even sounding slightly Aphexy in places -one track reminds me of "Blue Calx"
but with a beat!
I can supply a full tracklisting and transcript of the press sheet if anyone
wants.

And no release date for the next LFO LP yet! - I seem to remember one of these
update sheets in the summer of 93 proclaiming it TBC Nov 93 !!

Yes I got it. Pretty basic raw techno/acid stuff. Dark and moody "This is a
Global Warning . And not a Wave Station /??/" vocal. Sample from I think the
3-Phase/Dr Motte track off the 1st Tresor compilation on NovaMute (that
scratchy metallic noise). The other 2 tracks didn't strike me as being as
strong as the first, but no doubt a few more listens will reveal their hidden
depths, as usually happens with WARP stuff. This is not IDM in the (ai) sense,
but its pretty good stuff all the same - fits in if you like RAC, Plastikman,
that kinda thing.

Based on the sleeve design of Fracture/Tied, for those who are interested
(and so continues the life of another trainspotter!)
