Reissue on CD of 1995 album by the British post-industrial/ambient group O Yuki Conjugate. Coming four years after their lauded 'Peyote' release, the group split and reformed into their 'Mk II' phase with the two original members Roger Horberry and Andrew Hulme, along with Malcolm McGeorge, Dan Mudford and Pete Woodhead (who later went on to form Sons Of Silence on the Leaf label). Making use of the emergent technology of the early '90s, 'Equator' was one of the first albums to be mixed with digital equipment, weaving together a blend of studio, live and location recordings to create their own deeply immersive, enveloping soundscapes. Brooding atmospheres unfold underneath a wide range of ethnic percussion and deep, meditative basslines - existing in a unique cross-section of Hassell inspired 4th world mystery, industrial landscapes and the rich middle-eastern projections pioneered by Muslimgauze. It's a deeply hypnotic work that joins the dots between the late '80s industrial scene and the smoked-out chill out rooms of the '90s, released on the brilliantly haphazard Staalplaat label who ensured O Yuki Conjugate remained a total obscurity in their home country.
