From an inlay card: "The artists featured on this release were given a copy of the vinyl recording 'Mesmer' (Ash 1.8) and asked to compose a piece influenced by the work of Friedrich Mesmer the animal magnetist. The brief was – there is no brief; method and style were left entirely to the discretion of the composer."

We were given a tape, rather than the record, you can hear the original, untreated recording that the mix was derived from, as a second long snippet at the beginning...

apart from two loops derived from Put Put rehearsals,  all material constructed from extreme processing of the original mesmer loop.

EST's ten favourite live gigs of 1994 ...

The Blue Humans / Put Put (Disobey, London, July) The Blue Humans are much as expected: all-out free jazz twin-drum-one-guitar assault (although they prove to be considerably better two days later in the tiny, cramped Rough Trade Shop). Put Put, however, steal the show with their relentless trance-rock, a rawer, more stripped down version of everything Faust, Can and This Heat ever attempted.

VITAL, The Netherlands...

"Put Put's unabashed hi-octane jets of air stress the gaskets, slice like invisible knives".
