CBX 012EP
|
2018 repress; originally released in 2005. "Typical of BMB's malevolent programming genius: each percussion hit feels at once like it's a million miles away and inside your skull, the drum patterns at once spaced-out and throat-tighteningly claustrophobic. Looking back to the Latin swing Surgeon brought to classic solo productions like 'La Real', and looking forward to the swung minimalism that Regis would perfect on his contributions to the Sandwell District catalogue, 'All The Saints Have Been Hung' is the simplest, most confident and arguably most potent track in BMB history." --FACT, "The Essential... British Murder Boys"

CBX 010EP
|
2018 repress; originally released in 2003. "The two untitled tracks on Don't Give Way To Fear showcase what Surgeon and Regis do best: build breakbeats that complicate and intensify a techno track's 4/4 momentum, without weighing or slowing it down. Hell, they fit more energy and incident into a 4-bar phrase than your average minimal-monkey manages in a career. The bolshy, brutal rhythm and sandpapery coarseness of the sound design around it is matched with a deft sense of spatial arrangement and emphasis -- not since the days of Mark Stewart + The Maffia have barely suppressed violence and and a trippy, dubwise sensibility worked so naturally and effectively together." --FACT, "The Essential... British Murder Boys"

CBX 009EP
|
2018 repress; originally released in 2003. All tracks written and produced by Surgeon and Regis. "['Learn Your Lesson' is] one of the most instantly recognisable BMB tunes, and arguably one of the least typical: Regis contributes spoken, reverb-submerged vocals (a tendency that he'd elaborate on in the duo's live shows), affecting a register somewhere between Whitehouse-ish, hate-filled tirade and downcast psycho at the busstop murmuring conspiratorially to himself, before a Basic Channel-esque breakdown lets in the closest thing to sunlight you'll ever encounter in the unwaveringly bleak world of BMB." --FACT, "The Essential... British Murder Boys"

CBX 013EP
|
2016 repress; originally released in 2006. "Finally, after a long wait of over 4 years, Surgeon returns with 3 brand new solo tracks for his own Counterbalance label. After the industrial wasteland inhabited by the British Murder Boys project this astounding release from Surgeon displays a far less oppressive atmosphere, owing much more to his highly regarded Midnight Club Tracks series from 2000 & 2001. The three tracks display a variety of emotion and atmosphere, suitable even for the most jaded techno palate." --Juno Records
