Comments: This is the debut LP from longtime friends and collaborators Joel Ford and Daniel Lopatin (formerly known as Games). The promoter says: "[Games was] a symbiotic collaboration in 21st-century electronic music across an array of interests ranging from MIDI-funk, glitch, ambient, Italo disco, and musique concrete... Channel Pressure is a dialed-down homage to MIDI-driven 8-bit NES games, TRON, and the idea of getting eaten up by a circuit board... We love #2, 3, 8, 5."
