Excerpt From The Times, Friday April 29 1994.
_UP TO SOMETHING IN THE BEDROOM_
[Mu-Ziq stuff deleted]
...With his combination of violently distorted drum machine sounds and
disturbingly bland melodies, [Mu-Ziq] sits on the cutting edge of
techno. Further out, in the west London suburbs, even younger bedroom
bores are waiting to take his place. Daniel Pemberton is a confident
16-year-old who disguises his electronic music activities from all but
his closest of school friends.
At his home near Hampton Court, he churns out cassettes of impressively
accomplished ambient techno on equipment financed by writing reviews for
a computer games magazine. Some of it sounds the equal of music written
by Hollywood composers who win Oscars, but Pemberton is better off not
knowing that until his exam revision is finished.
Already, a minor bidding war is in progress as record companies in
Belgium, Germany and Britain fight to release his debut album, called,
appropriately enough, Bedroom. Pemberton is impressed, but adolescently
diffident enough to jeopardise his chances of closing a deal. After all,
his mother studied textile design at Winchester College of Art when Brian
Eno was president of the Students Union. "It really freaked me out,
that," he says.
Of course, he has peers who still thrash out noisy guitar music. "There
are quite a few bands at our school", he says, "but most of them are
probably knob." Too bright to be a bore, but too now to be knob,
Pemberton is simply bedroom.

Im not sure he had anything out on R&S, I think that they were just part
of the bidding war to get this kid signed.
