Notes
Press Release

On September 8th 1997 Coldcut released their 4th album, their first on their own label, Ninja Tune. Ninja Tune was born out of a desire to side-step the bullshit of major industry dealings, and over the last seven years the label has continued to expand on the D.I.Y. philosophy that gave it birth. Coldcut, and many others, have waited a long time for this moment to come. From uneasy (b)listening to future-retro
space-junk, this is Ninja Tune's most important release ever. Let Us Play.

'Let Us Play' documents the density of the Coldcut project. This is the finished tracklist [and a run-down of collaborators...]

'Let Us Play' is the heartfelt cry of a generation that rejects being categorised, bought, used or homogenised. Themes that heavily influence the album are the impact of technology on a changing society, and the principles of DIY philosophy and zentertainment. Album comes with free chin, so you don't wear your own out.

'Let us Play' is where you will learn about....

DNA ROM/the Post Human Condition/ synaesthesia/ DJing/ VJing/ sampling/ playtools/remixing/slack/club culture/party political broadcasts/freedom of information/adhocracy/the battle between analogue and digital/'the CON"/ and other things. .... all Mixed by Coldcut. The album also comes with a free CD-Rom that relights the flapping flame of interactivity. Integrate....Interactivate...Rejuvinate..
