These Are Our Children

A dusty, surrealist collage of vintage lounge samples and robotic vocals. The rare, lo-fi blueprint for the band's signature psychedelic trip-hop sound.

1998 · Deeda Records (2)

A surreal, sample-delic fever dream that feels both nostalgic for the 60s and anxious about the future.

Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from the lush Gunter Kallmann Choir sample into the 'dirty dream' vocoder breakdown on Daydream in Blue.

The hypnotic, repetitive piano loop in The Jardine Boys that feels like a precursor to their later hit Heaven.

The way the Exit track stretches into a nearly seven-minute psychedelic fade-out that dissolves the album's structure.
