So this is the latest project by (ex?) Stereolab members Tim Gane and Joe Dilworth (are the band still "on a break" or have they officially split up?). It's great - sounds very much like the more out-there Stereolab moments but without Laetitia Sadiers sweet melodies and vocals.
Three Neu!-esque workouts, two of which are "versions", which I presume means the upcoming album versions will be different - maybe there'll be some singing and less echo. The wonderful "sound-magic's Death Ray Destroys The Vortex And Has Union With Infinity" even, at one point, threatens to morph into Television-do-Krautrock.
The vinyl is exclusive to Rough Trade shops and is limited to 320 copies, which is a hell of a haul for one shop!
There's no picture sleeve so you'll have to make do with some photos of the label instead...
The band live in Berlin earlier this year:
