It’s not normal to take 31 years to release a follow up album. But then Network was never a normal sort of record label, and often opted for the quirky ratherthan the quick buck. The logo was launched in 1990 and that year, along with a slew of startlingly good singles, created and issued two bio-rhythmcompilations, each of which showcased cutting edge USA techno rubbing shoulders alongside its’ sparse UK bleep counterpart.
Matt Anniss sleeve notes too:
fittingly, much of the material comes from producers and remixers based in and around the midlands. It begins with a brand-new re-edit of neal howard’s‘indulge’ – originally the first single to be released on network – from birmingham’s discomendments (real name lee fisher) and ends with a timely airing of thefirst compilation’s unofficial theme tune, c&m connection’s detroit-meets-yorkshire classic ‘bio rhythms’.
sandwiched in between are on-point (and previously unreleased) works from rhythmatic and mark archer (nexus 21/altern8); a never-before heard slab ofacid-flecked, sax-heavy dancefloor futurism courtesy of minimalArchiv ; ; an unreleased, subheavy 1991 nexus 21 recording of clonking live favourite ‘silicon’;and a previously unheard slice of 1989 bleep magic from doggy (real name peter duggal), a birmingham-raised producer making his first appearance onnetwork 31 years after his debut single came out on rham! records.
