Plug - Here It Comes


Luke Vibert has so many aliases, he and Aphex Twin could have a competition to see who has the most releases that have never been directly credited to them. Vibert primarily records as Wagon Christ these days but he's also well known as Plug for his Drum 'n' Bass For Papa album and the three EPs he released in the mid-nineties. The EPs are startlingly imaginative uses of the jungle rhythms while always bringing melody and his perverse taste for easy listening records to the forefront, whereas the Papa album is a bit more serious.

Apart from a number of compilation tracks, Vibert stopped recording as Plug around the turn of the century, though Todd Osborn aka Soundmurderer somehow managed to get Vibert to give up an EP of unreleased Plug tracks which he released on the Rewind label in 2006. That collection, the Here It Comes EP, is a wonderful reminder of how sweet and twisted those Plug records are and how talented Vibert is.

Below you'll find a link where you can download the aforementioned Here It Comes EP as well as an additional ten tracks from various compilations. That's almost ninety minutes of prime Plug! If that's not enough though, and it really shouldn't be, head on over to Bleep and check out the main Plug releases, all of which will have you bouncing up and down with joy. Then dig deeper into Wagon Christ!
