Unknown to me, English electric not quite properly introduce themselves with a stunning EP on Mighty Robot. My problem is that I still have no idea who they/he/she/it are/is. For those who want a textual description of the sound on the Auto beam EP, here goes: Take the epic Vangelis (don’t worry) Blade Runner soundtrack, [...]

Finally our beloved Mr Garnier releases something for us to groove to again. Back to my roots is two tracks of feverishly drumming techno.
