New album from underground electronic icons Bogus Order

Bogus Order is a pseudonym for Coldcut, the legendary UK duo who were amongst the pioneers of Trip-Hop

In 1990, Bogus Order released Zen Brakes, the first ever Ninja Tune release. Last year saw the re-emergence of Bogus Order with The Bullnose Step EP and this year they unveil Zen Brakes Vol. 2, the sequel to a historic debut some 27 years ago, via Ahead Of Our Time.

Zen Brakes Vol. 2 is the product of almost one third of a lifetime spent contemplating, learning and (most probably) drinking!

The music lives up to Zen Brakes, albeit far more modern sounding. Broken beat drum abstractions and rich ambient synth textures blend together to create hyper contemporary IDM or whatever term is favoured by purists.

The album is a limited edition CD release of 1000 copies which feature 10 different artwork cover variations to coincide with each track from the album, a roll-fold booklet and bonus track.
