Tortoise: Millions Now Living Will Never Die (City Slang EFA 04972)

David Sinclair, The Times, 26 January 1996

THE "POST-rock" conceptualist ensemble from Chicago, Tortoise, do not travel on the fast track. Exhibiting a lofty disregard for conventional song structures, their wholly instrumental second album kicks off with 'Djed', a 20-minute wander round the houses that takes in elements of Kraftwerk, dub-techno and systems music.
