New album is great. EMAWIAS is obviously their best but Bel Air is one of my favourites too.
Remember seeing them at Phoenix Festival back in 1995 about a month or so before it came out. We'd scored some microdots and were expecting to chill to their brand of mellow electronic/folk fusion but instead were treated to this incredible set of jazzy, breakbeat weirdness. Great day.

That sounds most enjoyable.
I also come back to United Kingdoms most, perhaps because it was my first. Unclassifiable and some great tunes. 'Companion' also worth seeking out as mentioned above.

Found a copy of 'United Kingdoms' locally in an actual shop today and it's good, though part of me does think it sounds "of its time". 'Signals Into Space' still my favourite so far.
