Well, Stakker is pioneering video artist Mark McLean who originally teamed up with Brian Dougans (Humanoid and half of FSOL) on this work that originally soundtracked an early foray into the art of visual stimulation. Rephlex have painstakingly tracked down the original video and remastered this lost treasure for a new generation to enjoy. For the record this is original acid rave UK style, a listen to this shows you what the likes of Kosmik Kommando and Squarepusher were brought up on. There is an art to getting funk out of a small silver box and a lot of today's artists could learn from this. It reminds me of a time of innocence and enthusiasm and a feeling that electronic music could go anywhere. For all the acid teds and heds out there, and for anyone who loved the original Stakker Humanoid this is a document of those fresh and exciting times.
