If I had to describe 'Sea Containers House' in a single word, it would probably have to be 'hyperactive.' There's a punchy mechanised beat that just about holds everything together, and that everything is, well, whatever samples and instruments were knocking about in the studio at the time by the sound of things. Wild horns clash with a rambunctious bass and skittering synths and... well, you get the idea. It's a frantic, frenetic five-minute burst of crazy instrumentation that's surprisingly danceable. If you don't mind dancing like you've got a wet toe in a live socket, that is.
'The Hardest Science to Forget' is skittish, woozy electro, hyperactive and brain-bending, a collision between PigBag and early Foetus. The slightly dizzying effects of what sound like rolling, stretched tape loops over loping rhythms and funky, fuzzy synthesised bass grooves is accentuated by the extreme stereo. It's practically a different tune in the separate speakers.

This single is unlikely to have mass-market appeal, but I think it's great.
