Richard Rogers' Black Booby project returns to its re-edit roots after taking a brief Chi-town house diversion with Gene Hunt & co. on BB07. This time around Rogers takes the reins on A2 and B1, while an unnamed engineer joins the Black Booby fold for A1 and B2… First up on the A-side there's 'Sun Lab Export' from Rogers' mystery partner, an edit of the super-unknown 'Laxton Superb' by Dutch 80's electronic outfit Spectral Display.

Described as "a driving, hostile rhythm track underlying a foreboding song, reworked to bring out the menace in the groove - there was a relentlessness to the original version that we wanted to heighten..."
