Excellent 4 track limited edition EP from Emile Facey a.k.a. Plant 43. http://www.myspace.com/plant43. According to the press release for this EP, Mr Facey sought inspiration from living out in the countryside during the lush autumn and long cold winter of 2006 (I hope he had a coat and some warm socks). Plant 43’s sound combines the intricate, soaring strings of classic Motor City music of the highest order with the raw analogue drum sounds of early Kraftwerk. This is without a doubt the epitome of sublime, cerebral techno/electro at its best.

This fluorescent orange coloured vinyl release is limited to 150 copies. The standard black vinyl pressing is limited to 500 copies. Apparently 6 test pressings are in existence, featuring hole-punched orange dots within the vinyl, but this idea was abandoned when the vinyl proved to be too difficult to manufacture for general release. One could always drop a couple of hot rocks onto your copy to create a similar effect, but this is not recommended. Let the six copy gang enjoy their little gang. I’m gonna rock out with the 150.
