about

Using different names for different labels was all the rage in the mid 90's. Anonymity and mystery were favoured over blatant attention seeking. The antithesis of modern day digital marketing.
In 1995 I was approached by this weird duo who had recently started a label called Octopus Records and had released something by the guys from Black Dog (Kushti) - that was enough for me, so, inspired by my recent discovery of George Lucas's broken masterpiece THX1138 I dreamt up a vague kind of theme for an EP entitled "Future Paranoia". Critical Phase is peppered with voice samples from the movie along with creepy synth pads from my newly acquired "Vintage Synth" expansion card for my Roland JV synth. Octopus were masters of the press release so there for a short period Klute and Override were neck and neck in terms of popularity. "Hard 2 Breathe" had been adopted by the likes of Richard James the Aphex Twin and Talvin Singh and hailed as a future classic of electronic world music, or some shit. A much darker follow up, the "Consume & Destroy" EP continued the dystopian theme.
Ninja Tune approached with an offer of an EP and album, however in hindsight it would appear they were only ever interested in the track "Pac 3". "The Scam" EP ranks amongst one of my faves of any Klute output.
To round things off there are 3 extras,- "Good Afternoon" having never been released.
