Long out of press, Helium%u2019s seminal 1993 masterpiece %u2019The Works%u2019 E.P. eventually sees the light of day again on Kalahari Oyster Cult. A head-turning slab of visionary house and trance music, %u2019The Works%u2019 hasn%u2019t aged one bit and its dancefloor appeal sure hasn%u2019t lost any of its high-impact melodic beauty. Driven by the subs-towed harmonics of the wistful %u2018Out There%u2019 and fun-loving cowbell rides meet gut-churning 909 kicks of %u2019Try Me%u2019.



An off-kilter ambientoid trip, B-side opener %u2018Clouds%u2019 draws closer to The KLF%u2019s chromatic blends, whereas %u2018We Are The Future%u2019 expands the scope to further utopian apexes with its soothing assortment of nu-agey panpipes and slo, Sino-flavoured chug. Rounding off that mini-odyssey, breaksy pastoral closer %u2018What Is The Human Machine%u2019 takes us on a trip-hop-informed, acid-friendly ride in the wild.
