User Reviews:
magnetisch, May 04, 2003

When you look on the cover of the cd, you see the words This Compilation This was because in time of
releasing Bytes, they already had a contract with GPR! (Its still a problem to release under the same name on different labels) It looks like a compilation of different artists, but it is still made by Downie, Handley and Turner.
The track Xeper was made by Downie in a very short time. One day he woke up with the idea to make this track and made it..
I have read in interviews that Bytes is still their most favourite work.
A must have for all electronic freaks.
