...is Sean Booth and Rob Brown. They got
together in
1987 at the ages of 15 and 17. Other than
BMXing and
tagging, they also listened to a lot of
early hip-hop, and began to
screw around with a
drum machine.
Neither of them were
interested in
conventional
music as such. After
gaining some
fame, they
landed a
radio show that they still run
today. Then, they got
shafted by their
record company a fair amount, and joined
WARP in
1992.
Since then they have been
writing both
harsh and
nice electronic music, most of it with a
heavy mechanical feel to it. Some of it's a
bit on the
dark side, but a lot of their
stuff is
extremely
high in
quality. They
convey the
shape of
sound.
