I'm glad someone else on this list finally mentioned this release.
The Remote Viewer LP was released ealier this year on the
555 label and this LP was just reissued on cd with a bunch
of new tracks added just last week.

I've been enjoying the Remote Viewer LP since last april/may
and have played tracks off it on the Inaudible show several times
since then. Remote Viewer are Craig Tattersall and Andrew 
Johnson (who also record as Hood and Famous Boyfriend)
trying their hand at a more electronic sound and doing it quite 
successfully i might add.

The tracks on this Remote Viewer release combine a warm
crunchy electronica sound with subtle indie/post rock 
elements that would appeal to fans of both genres. a few
reference points would be isan, sybarite, matmos, seefeel, 
and quasimojo to name a few.

Check it out. You wont be disappointed.
