"Whoever said psychadelic-electronic was dead obviously hasn't heard the newest release from one of the masters of the genre, Eat Static. Back To Earth is an instant classic by the band in my opinion. Always adventuring into new realms of sound and digital manipulation, ES does not dissapoint with this one.

It is a fairly diverse album that contains elements of their previous works, and even some interesting elements of their other project, Ozric Tentacles. Yes I can hear a lot of OT's influence in this one...which is not a bad thing at all.

If you have ever been fan of this interesting psy-electro band then I do recommend Back to Earth. It is very much 'back to earth' in it's sound, but don't forget your spacesuit because it is still very spacy at times."

"After releasing tracks on 7 Interchill compilations to date, the time has finally come for a full length album from Eat Static. Back To Earth is the latest serving from these long-standing pioneers on the electronic frontier. Delivering a solid selection of unreleased tracks, this highly anticipated sonic masterpiece is sure to capture the attention of their ever-growing fan base around the world.



Packed with all new material recorded over the past year Back To Earth features an exquisite tracklist of tunes that reveal the true extent of Eat Static's musical ingenuity. The album is infused with dashes of Arabian and jazzy influences alongside solid rhythmic elements and layers of spaced out, otherworldly effects that bear their precision-crafted signature.



Coursing through breaks, dub and lounge territory, Back To Earth includes collaborations with Steve Everitt, Ed Wynne (Ozric Tentacles) and Steve Hillage & Miquette Giraudy (System 7 / Mirror System). Complete with an unparalleled degree of stylistic variety and detail, this album lands just in time for the summer season, encapsulating all that people have come to expect from Eat Static over the years.
