I just can't imagine how this one might have be surprising back in 1990!!! This original blend of dub, pop, electronica and ambient-house was way ahead of its time, and anticipating labels like Pork 4 years before. Even compared to the most forward-thinking ambient-house releases back in 90, this was a Ufo ! These three versions of R-earth are deep and smooth electronica that show clearly that both members were trained in pre-techno composing, and not different from Manna's debut album on Apollo (1994), with even a saxophone floating elegantely above. The R-Resonant is the most dubbish one, but all 3 are excellent. Just relax, open your mind, and dive in!
MEGA FREEDY
Completely agree with BomberOne about this release! To this day it hasn't aged one bit!Little known fact about this; Steve Cobby & co we're in the infamous Fon Studios in '94, sat on boxes of 100 x 12's, turns out they we're unsold copies of the original Manna Records pressing of R Earth! A personal favourite & a big track in their home town! Porky bought up the remaining copies & re-released them with a 'Pork Recordings' sticker over the original barcode!
