Description

The album's material was produced between August 1995 and January 1997, before the release of the first Four Tet EP in 1998.[3][4]

Damien Morris wrote in The Observer that "Its music mostly dates back to 1996, and you can hear the teenaged Hebden essaying plangent shoegaze, ambient techno and trip-hop..."

Philip Sherburne wrote for Pitchfork that "There are blasts of overdriven electric guitar, effects-pedal experiments steeped in line noise, and even a folk song played on hard-panned acoustic guitars. [. . .] There are glimmers of the palette that would come to define Four Tet's work, but mostly these pieces show the influence of the decade's mischievously experimental spirit."[4]
