As a band, they were really doing something strange at the time by making music that sounded so resolutely like it came from the bedroom of a solo producer. "Vocals" are just snatches of floating sound, drums are often electronic... all the instruments sound electronic. They were clearly inspired by dub (who isn't) and started with stripped-down fragments, but then kept whittling down from there. Mood-wise they're bleak yet beautiful, like enjoying a solo walk in an industrial landscape. Jascha Narveson
Sitting on the grey shore of Puget Sound as Playback filters in and out over sea birds fishing and fog soaked evergreens drip into the forest behind me. At times I wonder what fully developed tracks might have sounded like. Mostly just enjoying its enhancement of my environment. edlalu
