The Bristol music must-have comes as a limited edition LP with astonishing artwork, liner notes and a heavyweight sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 90s, the band released two albums, including the classic Curse Of The Pheromones via Antilles New Directions (Island Records), then evolved into The Insects: film composers for BBC\/National Geographic,\u003cbr\u003e\nEmmy winners, and key architects of the 90s Bristol orbit, working with Massive Attack, Goldfrapp, Tricky, and members of Portishead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Antenna Years compiles the independent EPs\/Mini-LPs the Startled Insects released in 1984 (self-titled) and 1985 (Underworld\/Black Spring), with two bonus unreleased tracks that were only ever played in their live shows (W.W.W and What A Waste, both amazing).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAstonishingly futuristic when they landed in 1984, the Startled Insects sounded like they came from another planet while staying rooted in Bristol’s underground. Abstract electronic, leftfield synth-pop, dub science, gamelan heat, post-punk edge, cinematic atmosphere : The Antenna Years delivers one beautifully odd voyage into the sonic unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFour decades on, The Antenna Years still hits like a transmission from the future.
