Context!
Hey, I've lately been diving into a lot of the groups that are tangentially related to our beloved heroes in an effort to better understand the scene they came up through and developed in. There's the obvious ones (Chems, Orbital, Aphex, The Orb, etc.) and the named influencers (Kraftwerk, Eno, etc.) but then there's the groups that were popular in the local scenes they were in that may not have quite broken through. Groups like 808 State, and Eat Static come to mind here. I'm looking for any more groups you guys would recommend or recall as being relevant in those periods. I found Eat Static through Megadog-era flyers and spotify got borderline annoying in its recommendations of 808 based on my listening to UW.
So, who else should I add to the list of things to be listened to?
