Wasn't this also a track title on 4 Hero's 'Two Pages' (CD2)? I assume Pegasus 51 must have some greater significance: is it a star or something? Added value: EP7, I have just discovered, is indeed great. At first I thought it was too incoherent and inconsistent, and a sense of Ae replaying the old formulas (cold digital pads, boff-blip beats) but I've just got into it. It is inconsistent (Zeiss Contarex and the second half of Left Blank are indeed pretty dull and formulaic) but there are some real gems: Rpeg and Ccec deconstruct hip-hop brilliantly, with those randomised granular melodies and scats, Dropp and Pir have that abstract emotion behind them, Netlon Sentinel has some of the most spine-tinglingly intricate digital glitch-beats I've ever heard and that progression through rhythm patterns... great stuff, and significantly warmer and more 'human' than LP5 if not as perfectly-formed. I suppose the mix of noisy chunky stuff and the LP5-style pinpoint digital percussion is why they didn't publish it as an album. Anyway, that's just my tuppence, even if it is on a dead thread.
