Disco Inferno – The 5 EPs

Out on CD and double 12″ heavyweight black vinyl.

Almost entirely out on their own and out of step with the times, Disco Inferno were probably the most ambitious and isolated band of the ’90s. 

Whilst it’s now almost second nature for a band to incorporate digital technology into their armoury, you’d struggle to find anyone who went anything like as far as DI. In 1992, they took the quantum leap from their modest beginnings to totally rewire themselves and become the most radical, forward-thinking guitar band on the planet, with a revolutionary sample-based approach that was simply years ahead of the curve. 

Track-listed chronologically, this compilation gathers together for the first time all five long-out-of-print EPs which were originally released between 1992–95, a period bookended by their radical rebooted re-emergence in Autumn 1992 and their depressingly premature demise in Spring 1995. Whilst these tracks were never originally conceived to fit together as a coherent whole, the compilation nevertheless functions perfectly as a sequential overview of the band’s development and the sheer breadth of ideas they explored.
