I felt that Quoth was the standout track on the Surfing on Sine Waves album, and it seems that the decision makers at Warp Records agreed given that it was released as a single. It’s undeniably repetitive but the depth of the beats which Richard D. James gets here makes them strangely hypnotic to listen to.
Peel had received a letter from Chris Williams of Tickton, who had been blown away by James’s live set at the Warp Records party held on 8 January. Williams described it as a stone in the eye to those who say that electronic music requires no skill. Yeah, take that, Tommy Saxondale!
