Ubik? One of my favorite all time techno creators. Shit, how do I
describe their music? Kinda like LFO, but with more sequences, more
changes, more melodies. Second try: cold dark electro bleepy pagan
techno. Most songs have a heavy emphasis on rhythym,
with a tribal electro feel, the shit is real robotic. I tried! Ubik
consits of Viv
Beeton and Dave Cambell, both are from the U.K. If you really want
their shit bad call Zoom records in England, at first all I had was the
System Overload e.p. and I went ballistic for it, so after searching
high and low for their shit I ended up calling Zoom and got hooked up
with a bunch more of their vinyl. Also they were interviewed in DJ
magazine about a year to a year and a half ago under their cult heroes
section, I can't find my copy, but when and if I do, I can post it. Here
is a list of Ubik material I am aware of:
Ubik-Techno Prisoners (Zoom records)-I had this but it looks as
though someone has stolen it (fucking thieves) shit! (therfore I can't
give the date for sure but I think 1989?

Ubik-Systen Overload E.p.-(Zoom 006 1991)
Ubik-Pagan E.P.-(Zoom 008 1991)
Ubik-109 degrees e.p.-(Zoom 010 1992)
