They met in Nottingham UK, some time in the 90's, bonding over a shared initial desire to make music that sounds the way William Gibson reads: dense, quite dark, futuristic, richly textured, strange, yet with moments of humanity, hope and beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2004 or thereabouts they stopped playing live, gradually shedding punk and hip-hop influences, absorbing instead ambient electronic and classical influences and devoting their energies to recording a series of increasingly ambitious albums on their own Lotek Recordings label.

They were well received critically, and a number of tracks were used to soundtrack TV programmes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2016, following a contribution to a well-received compilation on the Disco Gecko label, \"Strange-Eyed Constellations\", they were offered the opportunity to release more material on the label, beginning with an EP, \"The Man Who Failed the Turing Test\".
