Links To Peel[]
Peel described the band's one session as "excellent... wonderful... one of the best received of the year" when it was repeated on 10 December 1998. The track 'Aquarius' was a big favourite with the DJ, being selected as a Peelenium choice for 1998. The original single was later found in John Peel's Record Box.
Sessions[]
One session. "Aquarius" and "Olson" available on the band's 'Peel Sessions' three-track EP. Note: the version of "Happy Cycling" on the EP is not the broadcast version. "XYZ" features a sample from a track by Tangerine Dream founder Edgar Froese, which may explain why the track has never been officially released.[1] Also available on Various Artists: WXAXRXP 10x12” box set, digital, 2019 (Warp WARPLP300).
