From NME's "Vibes" section (17 December 1994): Jedi Knights: Jedi Knights EP (Clear) ------------------------------------- The debut release on new label Clear (set up by one-third of Aphex's Rephlex label) is a stunning, Mantronix-style mantra from the Jedi Knights, aka Global Communication in yet another guise. Forget insipid '80s retro, Mark and Tom offer a true reappraisal of the decade, unearthing the futurist funk vibe of those early 'Streetsounds' compilations. 'May The Funk Be With You' is an inspired piece of elastic-electro, the perfect soundtrack for breakdancing in shopping precincts and therefore becomes Vibes Single Of The Week Two. Watch this label - it's going to be massive. Has anyone seen this or bought this yet, or did the reviewer just get a promo copy? I ask because a while back there was talk about this being released in early January, not mid-December. Also, does anyone have a fairly accurate Applied Rhythmic Technology discography? If so, please mail it to me. If not, I'd be happy to compile one if people were to send me submissions... :) Thanks! - Matthew
