Futureproof's mix of dub, delay and devastation was received to critical and commercial acclaim, rising to the top of the New Zealand electronic charts, and was followed by a sold-out tour of New Zealand alongside Salmonella Dub.

The album's sophisticated mix of dub and dance set a benchmark by which future New Zealand electronica releases would be measured, and has gone on to find fans around the globe. True to its name, Futureproof sounds as timeless and fresh today as it did in 1998.

To celebrate the 23rd anniversary of the release, the band dug out the original audio files and Angus McNaughton has re-mastered them for this vinyl release. Hamish Macaulay has also adapted the original artwork, creating a brand new collage for the centerfold out of pictures taken at the time.

Press Quotes

A sweeping colossus, full of epic soundscape and atmospheres, deep rumbling basslines and mind-bending dub, all punctuated with some of the most danceable yet totally listenable rhythms around

     —Sean Cooper, NZ Musician

Sets a new benchmark by which all future local electronica releases will be measured

     —Pavement Magazine

Showcasing the dubwise styles that form the backbone of their sound to full, sub-woofer busting effect

     —Remix Magazine

A rib-rattling collection of bass, beats and reverb, welcomely funky but with plenty of dark corners

     —Anthony Philips, Sunday Times

The pair combine the echo-worship and bass power of dub, an occasional dancefloor-aimed hydraulic thud, and just-so touches of synthesizer squelch and curl

     —Russell Baillie, Weekend Herald

An unusually strong and consistently good album

     —Kevin Glover, Waikato Times
