"Long awaited return of the one of the UK's most influential leftfield labels. Spymania is the label that first released tracks by Squarepusher (the Conumber EP and Duk of Haringey Alroy Rd. Tracks). MDK is the first release on the relaunched label. File next to the following labels: Warp, Planet µ, Ill, Rephlex." "Debut album from this onetime Wafta cohort and member of the controversial Trash collective (whose album, IndustrialSampleGouchecoreBeat on Mille Plateaux contained several MDK penned nips...). Keeping in with the Spymania tradition of manic anti-function and random placement of sound (not to compare or anything, but you can't deny Spymania as the breeding ground of one Tom Jenkinson aka Squarepusher) in the post-dancefloor concert hall. The 31 tracks on here cover every possible combination of elements; DAMAGED drum n' bass, heavy metal break fuckery, IDM-leaning temperament, childlike melodic etudes, G-funk, old-skool butta, plain-out noise, distorted acid vibes, plunderphonics, Kraftwerk idolatry, and general mis-appropriation of contextual sonics. As most tracks are two minutes long, the SAS crowd will be most pleased. Fried." --Hrvatski. Limited stock of this 1998 release.
