| This 4 track EP is a collection of collisions |
| between Noisia and 3 of their favourite       |
| sparring partners: Phace, The Upbeats and     |
| Black Sun Empire.                             |

| The first track, "Cannonball" starts off with |
| a chopped up 2 minute drumsolo, leading into  |
| the commanding voice of Will Ferrell          |
| announcing the drop with the characteristic   |
| misplaced triplet bass hit by shouting        |
| 'Cannonball' in a high-pitched whine. After a |
| thorough drum n bass workout in the office,   |
| Noisia and Phace bring the guns (jack&tom)    |
| back to comedy in the best outro for a tune   |
| ever (it's science). Discovered by the        |
| Germans in 1904, they first named this outro  |
| San Diago, which of course in German means 'A |
| Whale's Vagina'.                              |

| The second tune on the EP is the result of    |
| BSE and Noisia trying their hands at minimal  |
| electro house. After writing a Stephan        |
| Bodzin-inspired minimal track, they decided   |
| to use all the tricks they used in the 128    |
| bpm experiment for a drum and bass tune. Out  |
| came an infusion obtained by putting minimal  |
| in drum and bass, and putting BSE in the      |
| Noisia studio. It might be the most           |
| atmospheric and melodic track on the EP,      |
| dancefloors go wild on it nonetheless!        |

| Mudslide, a collaboration with The Upbeats,   |
| is the ADD child on a sugar high in the       |
| Vision 005 family. The drum patterns change   |
| every 16 bars after it's dropped, and the     |
| bass also appears in many guises throughout   |
| the progression of the track. This track is a |
| personal favourite of Noisia, because of the  |
| wonderful atmospherics in the intro and outro |
| ('how the fuck have we come up with a sound   |
| that nice?!'), the intricate rhythms of drum  |
| 'n bass in all the shapes and sizes they come |
| in, and the big big cowbell leading into the  |
| second drop. More cowbell!                    |

| The last track on the EP, "Levitation" is     |
| written with Phace. Always when Noisia and    |
| Phace get together in the studio, things just |
| start to lose weight and tunes just come      |
| floating into the room, gravity all nonsense  |
| now. As the crazy woman in the outro says:    |
| "The further we're removed from the central   |
| source, the more weird, mysterious,           |
| complicated and incomprehensible does Mother  |
| Nature appear to the finite human mind. And   |
| this is..." Firmly rooted on a steady 2-step  |
| beat, Noisia and Phace indulge in their       |
| obsession with science fiction and strange    |
| dirty sounds, occasionally pausing the        |
| nastiness for slapping their lederhosen in    |
| time to the song (the 4/4 clapping sound      |
| introducing the breakdown is a recording of   |
| them slapping their legs in the studio, the   |
| spontaneous native indian song they burst out |
| just after this has been trimmed off to save  |
| your precious hearing).                       |

| The artwork is a collision between Nik &      |
| Khoma.                                        |

| ENJOY - love from sour!                       |

This release may contain copyrighted material, however SOUR guarantees
that this material was at least available to one person "on the street"
and that the possession of this material is in no way privileged.

SOUR has been releasing good quality drum'n'bass, jungle & oldskool rips to
the internet drum'n'bass public since summer 1999. Originally a small
operation, we have now reached levels of international acclaim.

SOUR is dedicated to both the availability and promotion of music to the
public, and our rips are intended to reflect these ideals. Specifically:

. SOUR is dedicated to the promotion of new music that is currently
available to buy. If you like something you hear, you are obliged to
attempt to purchase an original copy.

. SOUR is dedicated to the promotion of old music that may no longer be
available to buy.

. SOUR is dedicated to the expansion and infiltration of drum'n'bass
worldwide! We provide a service where none is available, specifically in
many remote countries where traditional distributors can not afford to
target. Also, the availability of drum'n'bass in an easily accessible
form expands the potential for real world sales to people who may not
otherwise have considered buying drum'n'bass.

. SOUR is dedicated to the expansion of the online and offline real world
scenes. With more listeners enjoying what they hear, clubs and venues can
only expect MORE people to attend events; DJ's can only expect MORE
people to pay to see THEM.

By accident of today's current real world distribution arrangements, many
artists will find that SOUR releases IMPROVE their real world sales;
especially for items only on vinyl. This is the basis upon which SOUR
operates.
