Zero Hour vinyl

Props to Planet Mu for making this one happen; Interplanetary Prophets sees Hieroglyphic Being and Ital combine on record for the three track Zero Hour EP. This collaboration came to fruition as part of last year's Unsound in Krakow, with festival organisers especially commissioning the performance from Hieroglyphic Being aka Jamal Moss and Ital's Daniel Martin McCormick. Despite being intended as a one off live performance, Planet Mu seemingly coaxed the pair to commit some of the material to record. The Zero Hour EP features three dense, extended pieces that were edited down from a series of studio jams that Moss and McCormick recorded earlier this year and whilst it's much closer to something you'd hear on Mathematics rather than 100% Silk, there's plenty of evidence to suggest they have used the points of overlap in their previous work as a jumping off point for fresh explorations of techno's burgeoning hinterlands. More please!
