Pop Will Eat Itself - RSVP bw Familus Horribilus (1993 Infectious)

Very much in the same vein goes this double single by Pop Will Eat Itself. Another piece of tDR™-designed crap, only remarkable for the Higher Intelligence Agency ambient dub remix.

Supercharger - Saturday Night Special (1998 Indochina)

This is a typical example of an album that didn't make it past the first listening. Twelve years later it shows that I was right about it. Can't belive this came from Indochina, a label that gave us Morcheeba or The Philadelphia Bluntz. Oh, did I mention the great tDR™ cover?

Manna - Manna (1995 Apollo)

I remember listening to this tDR™-packaged Apollo ambient gem and FSOL's ISDN (remember that fancy furry digipak?) at the same time back in the daze and I must say that Manna's debut album totally won it. Later I found out that this great soundscape was created by ex-members of The Comsat Angels, a band which tried to put some space even into the new wave rock back in the mid-80's, which kinda explains the rough edge sometimes audible through this session. A recommended listening!
