Perhaps the most obviously Stereolab-inspired set by that band's bassist Simon Johns's offshoot project Imitation Electric Piano, TRINITY NEON also incorporates prog rock influences from bands such as Tortoise and Soft Machine on cuts such as "An Hour Is Sixty Minutes Too Long," and "The Khartoum Venus." However, despite "Small Science"'s debt to Johns's main band, it's the chiming "Gin Lane" and the opaque, dulcimer-accompanied "King's Evil" that provide this debut full-length's most compelling moments.
Recorded at MezzaLuna Studios and Metaway Studio, Brighton, East Sussex, United Kingdom, between 2001-2002.
Personnel: Simon Johns (vocals, guitar, drums, percussion); Paul Morgan (guitar); Nicholas Wilson (trumpet); Lee Adams (drums, percussion); Ashley Marlowe (drums).
