Nightmares On Wax
A Word Of Science (Warp)
Electronica 
How Ya Doin'? Increasingly critical of the hardcore scene they'd helped to spawn, N.O.W. duo George Evelyn and Kevin Harper countered dance music's 'heavy mental' tendencies by lacing their debut album with delicious doses of hip-hop and electronic soul. "Imagine a world where rap and house were one and the same thing, two sides of the same three pound note.(NOW's) attitude is slightly different to other DJs-turned-musicmakers: sure, they're hardcore at times but they're mellow too. Their instrumental hip hop is beguiling, mysterious, their samples just a shade different." Ian McCann NME 14.09.91 "This album contains no predictable samples, Italian Pianos, extortive wailing or other, admittedly enjoyable dancefloor sureshots. It does have a bass that nobody can touch for brute force, some odd beats, sublime embellishments, welcome humor and several touches of divine inspiration." Echoes 14.09.91
