Equally, no-one could have predicted that the band would return to the live arena a decade after their final fling or consider pressing their debut on vinyl for the first time.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFormed in Nelson, NZ in 1997, the trio cut their teeth playing regularly around the South Island’s underground club and festival scene. After a hiatus overseas, they began recording \u003ci\u003eThe 88\u003c\/i\u003e in 2002 in Ryan’s home studio. The lyrics were influenced by their travels around Europe and Ruth's time working for the UN in Kosovo and East Timor; the beats by The Prodigy, Portishead and the UK’s trip-hop and breakbeat scenes.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSigned to indie label, Tardus, their tunes were eagerly picked up by the bNet student radio network, which then ballooned into high rotates on TV station C4, helped along by Alyx Duncan’s stunning video for Except You. A busy summer playing live every weekend for three months and seemingly universal praise from the music press led to them swiftly gaining gold sales.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNow, 22 years later, the trio have decided to revisit their debut, completing two previously unfinished tracks from the period to add a bonus to this inaugural vinyl release","brand":"Doll House Records","offers":[{"title":"Black 2LP","offer_id":51207018217750,"sku":"RMX-66274","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/5468472b5e2439b6613b68925cdcea66.webp?v=1776261097","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/minuit-the-88","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
