Earth Leakage Trip – Psychotronic EP

Shout out to anyone who had the misfortune of hearing “No Idea” while tripping back in 1991 … all … so … confusing.

Great to see this one getting a proper reissue thanks to the Blank Mind label. This was the first ever release on the legendary Moving Shadow label 31 years ago and I think it's fair to say is a bit of a landmark record for not only joining the dots between bleep & bass and hardcore but for also taking the rave to a much darker and weirder place and laying the roots for darkside jungle and drum and bass. A totally nuts record that still sounds like it's been beamed in from another dimension. Just listen to that bass...

Great re-issue, nice phat & warm when playing side by side with the Moving Shadow release - get on it!

No idea is often set in Luke Vibert's mixes and this is how I get crazy about and finally dig it out.

Vocal from children's record Happy Monsters HH502 - Side 1 An Adventure In The Land Of Ooog
Dialogue from the film Poltergeist

The track was called 'No Idea' because on the night they made it, Neil had forgotten the power pack for the sampler, so they had no idea what they were going to do.

Nice to see this still getting attention, 25 years after release.

"No Idea" creates an incredible hallucinatory experience, all through very inspired & intricate production.

This track really reminds me of FSOL, that sublime mixture of technology & organic.

Psychotronic is a more Industrial kinda track, with hammering metallic percussion & menacing arpeggiated synth stabs alongside vocal snippets. Strange to hear what sounds like a Northern Irish accent on the "psychotronic sounds" part!

Over 92 was covered well by hyperreal in the reviews below.

an absolute underground gem for those who know, urban, british psychedelic music.

I have this, mint unplayed just not the original cover.... =(

The "Over 92" quote is from the film "It Came From Outer Space"
