Long out of press, Helium¡Çs seminal 1993 masterpiece ¡ÇThe Works¡Ç E.P. eventually sees the light of day again on Kalahari Oyster Cult. A head-turning slab of visionary house and trance music, ¡ÇThe Works¡Ç hasn¡Çt aged one bit and its dancefloor appeal sure hasn¡Çt lost any of its high-impact melodic beauty. Driven by the subs-towed harmonics of the wistful ¡ÆOut There¡Ç and fun-loving cowbell rides meet gut-churning 909 kicks of ¡ÇTry Me¡Ç.
3 unreleased mixes that have nothing to envy to the originals that have been unearthed: If ¡ÇTry Me (More Mix)¡Ç does exactly what¡Çs written on the tin, i.e. expanding the scope to further spacious, ambient-informed horizons, ¡ÆClouds (Captain¡Çs Mix)¡Ç opts for a more abstract, ASMR-like rendition, while ¡ÆOut There (Jody¡Çs Mix)¡Ç reels out as a proper hypnotic, sense-awakening comber that¡Çll send off dancers straight into a blissed-out daze.
Helium¡Çs classic is now back in fully remastered shape (OYSTER20.1) and supplemented by a triplet of unreleased remixes (OYSTER20.2), available both independently and as a bundle 2x12" pack (OYSTER20) exclusively via One Eye Witness and Bandcamp.
