The key for me with Eat Static is three fold.
1. They are tied to techno. While they are clearly more in the trance genre (psy, goa etc), their music always had a foundation in techno. And not just style-wise by categorization. By being edgy. Daring. By being dark. It's not just psychedelic for people on drugs. Or to trip people out. The changes on tracks are more akin to daring techno of the early 90s then mid to later 90s streamlined psy trance.
2. All of my point #1 to their live shows.
3. They live and breath this. Its who they are. There is no faking or playing up the alien aesthetic.
They are the originators. They ARE this. One of the most unique acts in Electronic music.

Very productive, not just their albums and singles, but there are over 100 exclusive songs spread over compilations, collaborations with other artists and remixes.

After 10-15 years of listening to techno, Eat Static's is the one name that's stuck with me from the beginning to the end.
They are just brilliant, with an obvious love and talent for music, energy, fun, creativity etc. I just hope I get to see them live before they decide to do something else!

Techno Flavoured Ozric Tentacles. I credit these guys with pioneering many of the directions in which Psy Trance has followed. The original Techno aliens. Big respect!
Their blistering live performance must be experienced.
