Description
"Matt Elliott was one of the prime movers in Bristol’s early post-rock scene. He was a sometime member of scene cornerstone Flying Saucer Attack, as well being involved with lesser-known acts like AMP and Movietone. But Elliott is most recognizable as the fellow behind The Third Eye Foundation, one of those acts (see also Scorn and Main) that typified the artistic trajectory of UK post-rock, by starting off rock and ending up post- (“post-” usually being a broad euphemism for “electronic”). In Third Eye’s case, the catalyst responsible for this transformation was the then-revolutionary sound of drum & bass/jungle.
The first Third Eye Foundation album was called Semtex (also, confusingly, the title of a 12? Elliott released around the same time). Aptly named indeed, Semtex certainly was explosive. The album’s opening track, “Sleep”, was what brought Third Eye to the attention of many listeners – a combination of massive, churning guitar riffs and stuttering faux-drum & bass beats. It sets an air of menace that Elliott manages to sustain very effectively for the rest of the album." - Bubblegum Cage III.
This is The Third Eye Foundation "Semtex" vinyl lp record released by Linda's Strange Vacation Records in 1996.
The album features six tracks. The record is packaged in a card picture sleeve with a white paper inner sleeve.The sleeve has some wear: a few scuffs & marks here & there and the edges are a little bashed, but no rips or tears.
Please note that this is the ORIGINAL edition of the record and not the more common Domino reissue. This item would make a welcome addition to any Third Eye Foundation/ Matt Eliiott/ Flying Saucer Attack/ Movietone/ Seefeel/ AMP/ Hood/ post-rock/ shoegaze/ electronica/ etc fan's collection!
