Aisle16’s first foray into musically accompanied verse, Powerpoint is as paranoid, feverish and honest-to-god exhilarating as the show it’s based on. Recorded during a two week period in a borrowed vocal booth and Chris’ sweaty warehouse room, this long player is a disparate collection of lo-fi sound-scapes which, although rough round the edges, manages to be both sublime and ridiculous… sometimes simultaneously.

Every piece from the Edinburgh incarnation of the Powerpoint show is featured here, set against suffocated samples and off-kilter percussion. Segued with recordings from the pilot performance of powerpoint, and with original artwork by Sam Ratcliffe, each CD is individualistically sloganised, just like a fortune cookie. Intriguing.

Price £5 (plus £1.50 p&p)
