Eat Static - Dead Planet [2015, Psychedelic, PsyTrance, Psychill, Downtempo, MP3]

2015 sees founder member Merv Pepler release a brand new anniversary double album, featuring special guest slots from the legendary Robert Smith (The Cure), Steve Hillage (Gong), Laughing Buddha and a host of other new and established dance artists. Eat static return with the first new studio album since 2008..with a 26 year long history behind them, this, their anniversary album, see's a return to their trade mark 'analogue experimental sound' which they pioneered in the early days of the raves. It features 2 x CDs, CD1 being more uptempo and dancey while CD2 explores alternative experimental downtempo textures..all with their alien tinged humour and zest..another coup this time was to get Robert Smith from ‘The Cure' to add his distinctive vocals to the track ‘In all Worlds' and a host of other collaborations also make this their most colorful and 'static sounding' album to date. As with all static albums, this is impossible to define to any existing genres as Merv always goes out of his way to do the opposite to what everyone else is doing. Born of the acid house scene in 1989 and continuing to play all the top dance festivals around the world,to this day, plus broadcasting 2 radioshows a month for radiozora, Eat Static continue to fly the flag for true psychedelic electronica…miss this album at your peril!
