These guys have made so much great music, but apart from '76:14', a lot of it is hard to get hold of. I have 'Theory of Evolution', 'Jedi Selector', 'Remotion', '76:14'. 'Antacid', and a Slowdive remix. These are all terrific. I still need to cough up the obligatory £30 each for 'A Collection of Short Stories' and 'Pentamerous Metamophosis', but does anyone know anything about their other stuff? I don't know anyone who has any of the early Link, Reload singles, and the Jedi Knights LP is only available for massive sums. Really I'm just wondering, am I wrong in thinking these guys have been badly neglected over the years (compared to Aphex and Autechre), should I keep hunting for the remainder of their discography, and what do other people think of them? I know 76:14 is highly regarded - even in the indie scene - but no-one speaks about their other releases. |

I've said it before, but I really find 76:14 pretty dull, there are a few good tracks but overall it's a bit too fluffy, but when it comes to the reload stuff, it's a whole different matter, the eps and short stories album is by far their best work, and not forgetting the antacid ep. |

That's interesting. They've certainly done a lot of stuff in different genres, and the 76:14 stuff is only one side of them. I would really like to get hold of The Biosphere, Amenity, Animus etc and see what I've missed from the early records. And you're right about Antacid - what a track. |

in all fairness, sublime creation off the keongaku ep (and the 76:14 reissue) is one of my alltime favourite ambient techno piece. so good I got the recent reissue of that 12" twice - ok then, i thought one had disappeared in transit so I had to re-order it |

I wasn't keen on the Jedi Knights "New Skool Science" album, to be fair, a bit too comedy electro for me. Though there's a couple of good tracks. The "May the funk be with you" single was enough for me. THAT'S JUST ME. Reload's "A Collection of Short Stories" is A LOST CLASSIC, still sounds great, and a concept techno album. |

Apparently, the evolution/universal sound back catalogue is gonna be repressed, so hold on a little longer before spending big money on the originals. 76 14 is a classic, mainly because it works well as an album, but also has some truly stunning tracks on it. But i'm a fan of all their work, and pretty much collect everything. Mark Pritchard in particular is one of the greatest producers alive today in my opinion. |

I like Theory of Evolution a lot, even though it has given me one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. |
