Fantastic 90s trip-hop on the Mo' Wax label from the UK.
No lyrics, vox, etc. -- just straight beats.
Great to work to.
Also great to not work to.

My buddy Zack just put me on this album because ur boi loves him some 1990s ambient/dream pop type beats and this certainly scratched the itch. Fave tracks: Skin Divers, Distractions, Darling Effect. I love the artwork as well - it is by The Senate who did a lot of artwork for Everything But The Girl (who is always in heavy rotation at Intramural HQ) in the early 90s.

Funky, jazzy, compilation that truly feels foundational on video games, vaporwave, late fusion, general 80's vibes

flawless cult fav mysterious record
new wave-y & groovy
not a lot of info exists on the band, but that’s part of the charm
there’s a reissue ep available on streaming, but the full record is well worth the listen. you can only hear it in full on youtube or downloading from a random blog
if you spend anytime on nts or other internet radio station, there’s a good chance you’ve heard a song from the record…

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️

I will fail to explain just how much this band meant to me in the 90s.
So I will borrow from AV Club who did a fine job of distilling it:
“Unwound is the best band of the ’90s. Not just because of how prolific, consistent, and uncompromising it was, but because of how perfectly Unwound nested in a unique space between some of the most vital forms of music that decade: punk, post-rock, indie rock, post-hardcore, slow-core, and experimental noise. That jumble of subgenres doesn’t say much; in fact, it falls far short of what Unwound truly synthesized and stood for. Unwound stood for Unwound. But in a decade where most bands were either stridently earnest or stridently ironic, Unwound wasn’t stridently anything. It was only itself. In one sense Unwound was the quietest band of the ’90s, skulking around like a nerdy terror cell. In another sense it was the loudest, sculpting raw noise into contorted visions of inner turmoil and frustration.”
R.I.P. Vern Rumsey.
This is their finest song, from their finest album.
I really can’t say enough about the sheer bloody minded genius of this group. 🖤
