EP 3 (reissue)

Description

It's time to go all the way back to 1998, yet somehow stay firmly in the future. How? By reloading this reissue of the third EP from Pacific Records, and a classic among many from 100HZ, the British outfit featuring Lee Renacre, James Chapman and Doran Walker. They started in 1989 and by this 12" had hit top form: 'Shoot The Bar' is a hot stepper with a charming, inquisitive melody busying itself betwixt jazzy hi-hats. 'Flashing' sounds a Iil' loaded up on narcs - things are messier, more heads down and introverted, with inner tension coming through the busy drums and smudged synths. 'Tub Rub' comes out the other side with a clean synth glow and intricately assembled drums that are hella technical but never lacking in charm. A still superb EP.
