Outline (James Ruskin and Richard Polson)

There's been many tributes to the sorely missed Richard Polson since he passed away 7 years ago but maybe this release beats them all – a fully re-mastered and substantially beefed up re-release of Outline's First Contact and Encounter from the 1st and 3rd respective Blueprint EPs first recorded in autumn 1995. A co-production all the way with James Ruskin, they've been extensively road-tested in his live sets of recent. The early Outline titles had a really intense purity and helped pave the path for the golden age of British techno so watch out for more re-boots from this new Blueprint sub-series. Essential stuff!
