Originally released in 1997, Hidden Emotion was intended to be the debut album from Matthew Puffett's Future Beat Alliance project on Void Records. Due to complications with the distributor, it was never officially released. Only 50 white label copies were made, leaving the album as a long-lost underground release that gradually developed a cult following. Born from Puffett's early experiments with electronic equipment and the musical influences he absorbed throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, Hidden Emotion captures the raw, hardware-driven character of his early productions, combining melancholic melodies with atmospheric, distinctly Detroit influenced soundscapes. The anniversary edition brings together the original nine-track album, fully remastered, with four additional tracks: a brand-new remix of "Routine" by Tom Churchill.
