B(if)tek

[2] In 1994, in Canberra Kate Crawford and Nicole Skeltys formed B(if)tek as an electronic music group, and began writing material for their first album, Sub-Vocal Theme Park (1996).[3] According to the band's website, the album was recorded by the duo during 1995 and 1996 in a local suburban garage and was released as a limited edition of 500 copies on the independent Geekgirl label.[4][5] Blatant Propaganda's reviewer felt that Sub-Vocal Theme Park showed "a range of cruisey analogue-synth based tracks... Trippy listening music, with lots of burbling bass, mellow grooves, occasional samples, and spluttering filtered percussions.[8] After the split, Nicole Skeltys changed musical direction, forming the psychedelic folk band Dust and releasing the album Songs in 2007.The album draws from a large archive of recordings that move between minimal techno, modular downtempo, and more abstract electroacoustic experimentation.
