Formant Potaton

Cylob is an electronic music producer from the UK. Active since 1993, he has released 17 singles and 12 albums since then, on the labels Rephlex, Breakin' Records, Power Vacuum and his own Cylob Industries imprint. Although Cylob's music is predominantly instrumental, ranging from ambient styles to aggressive dance-floor sonics via pop pastiche and electronic funk, his most well known tracks have been the underground hits "Rewind" and "Cut The Midrange, Drop The Bass", which pioneered computer-generated rapping and singing on top of signature Cylob beats. His remix credits include reworkings for Mogwai, Aphex Twin, Soulwax (2 many DJs), Cristian Vogel and Mike Flowers Pops.

Cylob Industries was set up in 2007. It has so far released 7 albums and 3 singles of new or previously unreleased material, including under the alter-egos Ambient News and nonprivate. In addition, the label has reissued most of the Rephlex material.

Formant Potaton contains 10 songs sung by a computer generated voice on subjects such as contemplating one's own death, the nature of evil, alien invasion, the experience of being an isolated brain and the Cassini-Huygens mission, together with two instrumental tracks.
