Eskimos & Egypt – Perfect Disease - The Mixes

Eskimos & Egypt – Perfect Disease - The Mixes

"Eskimos & Egypt" emerged from Manchester's late-1980s alternative and dance scene, developing a distinctive sound that combined electronic programming, dancefloor rhythms, keyboards and rock guitar. Their music sits comfortably between early-1990s techno, house, industrial-influenced electronica and breakbeat, with the band gaining attention through a series of club-oriented singles and remixes.

Perfect Disease was originally released in 1993 on One Little Indian, with the album blending electronic dance music and rock influences. "Don't U Do It!", "Anybody" and "Dreams Of Yesterday" all appeared on the original album, making this The Mixes release a useful snapshot of the remix culture surrounding Eskimos & Egypt during the early-1990s dance era.

The record opens with the Crunch Mix of "Don't U Do It!", followed by the Crunch Mix of "Anybody", before the B-side delivers "Dreams Of Yesterday (These Things Will Never Change)". These extended/remixed versions highlight the more club-focused side of Eskimos & Egypt and should appeal to collectors and DJs interested in the crossover between early-'90s electronic music, techno, house and alternative dance.

The underlying Perfect Disease recordings date from 1993, giving this release a clear place within the early-'90s UK electronic and dance landscape. For fans of "Eskimos & Egypt", One Little Indian, Manchester electronic music, techno, house, breakbeat and 1990s dancefloor-oriented vinyl, Perfect Disease - The Mixes is a particularly interesting companion to the original album.
