Drawing on post-punk and synth-pop from the late ’80s as their roots, while also embracing sounds ranging from post-rock and experimental rock to IDM and trip-hop, they recorded with Robert Wyatt and Kevin Ayers, incorporating elements of the Canterbury and British jazz scenes, the duo of Paul Hammond and Ian Cooper—who continued to pursue their unique musical path—saw their fifth album from 1998, A User’s Guide, reissued by WRWTFWW.
Track List

The album A User's Guide, released in 1998 by New Electronica, a label under Beechwood Music—which also released albums by As One and Scanner. Born in the UK during a time when techno, jazz, ambient, experimental music, post-rock, vintage sounds, and new sounds were blending together to give rise to rich, DIY-inspired music, this is a masterpiece that invites you to savor every detail.
