This is the first album by the UK duo who went on to record the classic Distance album.

Marconi Union fall somewhere between the aural wallpaper of Brian Eno and the languid cinematic soundscapes loved by just about every electronic music-maker today.

It is a bravely minimalist melding of tentative percussion, undulating swells of synth, fragments of jazz and hints of dub é not unlike a chillier version of a meditation tape.

Not loaded down with any extraneous samples or other sonic graffiti, Under Wires And Searchlights takes on the air of one long musical dream sequence...
