Their first label release as P-Eye-Eye was on the seminal EMIT 2295 T:ME compilation album appearing alongside Coco Steel & The Lovebomb, Scanner and Woob. DJ Magazine June '95 review -- " ...Flinch not either from P-Eye-Eye's track (Lost at Sea) which jumped out and slapped me in the face with great panache! Not a 5am brainstorm from the chemically challenged as I first thought but a textural, moody one that reveals more with each pass... " The track was re-released in 2000 on a best of EMIT on Instinct Records USA, (Moby's first label).
Today P-Eye-Eye are now regarded as ambient / experimental music pioneers with their own unique sound, having been one of the first groups to use the RSS.

what do people say about us?
Great question, but I expected to see that P-Eye-Eye would dominate. That track was a standout among standouts. I've gone to great lengths to pick up em:t releases that I wasn't lucky enough to score in the last century, but that track is a genuine wonder. I was lucky enough to score about seven records before the prices got astronomical.

"P Eye Eye are quite possibly the strangest performers on the little known ambient vaudeville circuit. theirs is the sound of cartoon communication, let's see you categorize them." - David Thompson, EMIT.
"P Eye Eye are pioneers of electronic soundscapes.
Beyond control... It's Throbbing Gristle, but less frightening. Or more frightening. Nice dubby delays. I like the little tinny washes of music in there. Reminds me a little of chill out, but with funk.
Fire in the sky... I'm surprised to hear a tump tump 4/4, but that's good. I expected everything to be ambient. Techno, techno, techno, and now a surprise. A heavier beat over the top, orb styleee. Nice. Vocoders... Trippy. Now there's vocals. It's great. Funky bassline coming in. Wow, this thing moves. Great stuff. And then it turns into something almost mainstream sounding. Love the variety.
Walk with me.... The guitar(?) tone feels like joy division. Gives it an instant feel. That was interesting. I was so into it, that I forgot to write about it and started drifting off... Kinda like Underworld if they did it properly. Certainly feels more 'authentic' if that makes any sense. Has a feeling of the early days, but mixed with modern minimal.
Nuclear free world....Nuclear free zone..! I'd image Digweed playing this out a couple of years back. Nice message with funky percussion backing. Learn 'em as they dance.
