Disjecta ‎– Clean Pit And Lid

Disjecta
Clean Pit And Lid
1996 Warp Records

REQUEST #1 from Arnaud Din back in July. The other release of Mark Clifford’s brilliant Disjecta. The photo of the cover doesn’t do the TDR:UK96™ (Designers Republic & Miranda Holmes) impeccably designed metallic ink artwork justice but the music will make up for it. One of my favourite albums…

2. Conviction Hic
3. Kracht
4. Cheekchops
5. Pit
6. Smokehead
7. Are You An Echo?
8. Sudden Squeeze
9. Is That Really It?
10. Timorous Bitster

Disjecta ‎– Looking For Snags

Disjecta
Looking For Snags
1995 Warp Records

Everything Mark Clifford touches I’m a fan of. Mark described Disjecta as his outlet for his abstract constructivist electronica. Name comes from the Samuel Beckett novel. One of my favourite designs with the artwork of Miranda Holmes designed again by the brilliant Designers Republic.

Squarepusher
Port Rhombus EP
1996 Warp Records

The son of a jazz drummer, Tom Jenkinson has been with Warp for over 20 years crafting his acidic D&B. This was his debut single after moving from Richard D. James and Grant Wilson-Claridge’s Replex label. A super classic masterpiece.

RAC ‎– Doublejointed EP

RAC
Doublejointed EP
1995 Warp Records

Let’s stay in warp mode for #4. As mentioned, I was a Warp junkie in the 90’s. This EP by Richard And Chris (get it?) sums up in 25 minutes of electro-wizardry why. They never released enough for me but their catalogue is genius. To this day on heavy rotation in the house. Probably will see more from them here including their producers project “Cherry Bomb” someday.

Autechre ‎– Basscad,EP

Autechre
Basscad,EP
1994 Warp Records

Appropriately the second post. The first single (on warp anyway) from the dynamic duo of Booth & Brown. These guys are the best, although a little “noisy” these days for me. Their first 5 albums paved my way to becoming an IDM (and Warp Records) junkie. Remixes by the great Beaumont Hannant & Seefeel, of which posts will be here soon.

1. Basscadet (Bcdtmx)
2. Basscadet (Beaumonthannanttwomx)
3. Basscadet (Seefeelmx)
