ANORAX sticks to it's' #eatsleepcollect mantra with this limited edition 7' by UK Techno pioneers NEXUS 21. Both tracks were stuck in the NETWORK vaults (well a metal box full of DATS) since being recorded in 1991 before greeting the world on the NEXUS 21 'MIND MACHINES' LP released last December.Both stood out on that album so much that issuing them on a 300 press run 7' single for collectors seems the obvious thing to do.SELF HYPNOSIS has long been a signature anthem for early UK Techno but the version here is radically different from the original, and fascinatingly gives a glimpse of the Rave machinations that Mark and Chris would champion as they transformed into ALTERN 8.The studio recording of SILICON was not released on any format until the recent album.It was left on the shelf as both label and artist focused on ALTERN 8 instead of NEXUS 21. Part bleep and part clonk it's a classic snapshot of the North Of London UK soundscape in 1991. And that makes the fact that this version was recorded live at London's much loved Brain club in April of that year somewhat ironic. It's incredibly clear for a live record and incredibly good.Tracklisting:A. Self Hypnosis (Unreleased Version) B. Silicon (Live at the Brain)
