Cheap sounding synthesisers, play over assorted buzzing noises, vocoders, and lo-fi drumming to create a sound that sounds brand new, but which also recalls incidental sci-fi themes from 80s movies, and old video games. Imagine if Autechre had been commissioned to score a Megadrive game or if Orbital had tried to create an album just using a stylophone, a dustbin lid, and a Commodore 64. With most tracks ending just after 2 minutes, and a significant number being under a minute long, the ideas are plentiful, and rarely outstay their welcome. I highly recommend that you go to their website and download both "Trees and Colors and Wizards" (from the album) and the fantastically titled "I Think It Is Beautiful That You Are 256 Colors Too" (the download is a slightly different version to the version on Start A People). I personally think this band are a real find, and surely are due a higher profile in this country. Official Site On 70s Gymnastics Records
