Erm, no disrespect to kym and david intended but I think they would agree
that Spelunk will need to put out a few more releases (with electro
especially) before such blanked statements can be appropriately backed up.

Regardless, it's safe to say spelunk across two releases has done very
well at both providing fresh slices of techno twinged with electro (at
times) and more importantly, defining a unique sound which is spelunk.

The latest 12" is a various artists four tracker served up in a kitschy
bit of packaging.

Various Artists - The Anti Static EP - Spelunk/US          

Although the Ninja's have been know to pack twelves into such
"anti-static" bags, spelunk sparks the idea up a bit further by 
titling the ep "anti static ep" (spr002) and including
a hilarious promo-info sheet w/photo of a gal getting the
"hairlift" courtesy of a static generator.  The release/artist info is
encoded w/PGP and a public key code block provided (ha!).  I'll have to
reserve judgement on the individual tracks until I give them all proper
attention, but here's the info in the interim...
 
The Anti Static EP
Subcretaceous by Him + Her
Bugs Are in Every Room by Solvent
Comeout by BolzBolz + Rootpowder
Beryllium by cron
