Eat Static
Eat Static was creatred in 1991 by J Hinton, M Pepler and S Everitt, all from UK. A splinter group from Ozric Tentacles (consisting essent- ially of the rhythm section), Eat Static specializes in an uptempo, spacey trance-techno, with some Eastern elements.They have released three albums (Abduction, Implant and Science of The Gods).
In 1991 Eat Static released three singles and the cassette album 'Prepare Your Spirit' on their own Alien Records label. They signed to Planet Dog Records in 1993. The album 'Abduction' was Eat Static's first release for Planet Dog in 1993 and Eat Static.

This is a great album. Released in '93, there's some really rhythmetrical tracks here that aren't like a lot of Eat Statics' earlier material.
They ended the year with the single 'Lost In Time' EP.

The title track is opens all very atmospherically, typical Eat Static. And its a track that actually goes somewhere which is something the other tracks on this Ep fail to do.
In 1996 the single 'Bony Incus' was released.

The Original mix is a kicking track for Eat Static....just proves they can produce stuff thats not all bleeps and squelshes. Its got a scorching psychedelic/hard-trance remix courtesy of the Man With No Name.
1997 saw the release of 'Hybrid' - their most popular single release so far. 'Hybrid' reached 41 in the UK singles chart missing that exlusive Top 40 place by 60 sales. They also released "Hybrid remixes".

One favourite track of my own on this album is Contact which is a great track. I think it´s one of the greatest tracks they ever made. I´m very happy that they made a single of Contact (and remixes).
