surgeon: ep (2014 remaster)

This is the first release on the six-volume Surgeon reissues label, SRX. Originally recorded 20 years ago, Surgeon's first-ever release marked the beginning of the hugely-influential Birmingham techno sound. "Although some of these releases have been repressed many times over the years, they have always been from the original plates from those early cuts; none have ever been re-mastered and recut in their original from. So I began carefully transferring everything from the original DAT tapes and working closely with Christoph Grote-Beverborg from Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin to present this early material as it was originally intended. For the packaging I commissioned Ken Meier and Yoonjai Choi from Common Name."
