Fired up by the acceptance of god Eat god, Skit and I had started work on a Magic Bullet debut album within a couple of days of recording it. With the first three tracks already under our belts; Mutant Flash Mob, I Find It Cathartic and Crowd Close Door; we spotted the next call out post from Shaun Robert on the Saturday, the day after that first compilation was released. We were keen to explore the concept of musique concrète more thoroughly, so decided to pretty much have a go at anything Shaun suggested in the future, stretch ourselves a bit. I have to admit though, when we read the brief of latent audio surfaces, we just looked at each other and shook our heads as one! Ultimately, a few what the fuck minutes later, we decided to concentrate on the word latent, particularly in the sense of unfulfilled potential. For some unknown reason, that one really seemed to resonate on a personal level! Using some samples of bad weather (hey, we live in Knott End-On-Sea!) and a low bass pulse, we came up with a track that really sounds like it's going to go somewhere, but never actually does. To be honest, we weren't sure about it when we first listened to the completed track; would people get the idea that its being terminally boring was actually deliberate? Like I said, move along now, there's nothing to see here! Luckily, Shaun was happy enough with it and the track became our second release a week later...
