Ultramarine is a UK duo Ian Cooper & Paul Hammond who formed in 1989. They are still active today. Their earliest releases were issued on the Brussels-based label Les Disques Du Crépuscule & by Brainiak Records, an affiliate of The Brain Club that sponsored regular House music nights in Soho, London.
Their work blends elements of techno, house, & ambient music with acoustic instrumentation influenced in part by the folk/jazz ambience of the 1970s Canterbury scene. It has been labeled "pastoral techno". It is acid house with a Dubby tempo, simultaneously chill & danceable with that summer rave comedown vibe echoing some of KLF's chillout releases.
Originally released by Brainiak in 1991, this is the expanded 1992 Rough Trade 2xLP reissue. The reissue contains 14 tracks: "Saratoga" & "Nova Scotia" added from the April 1992 Rough Trade Singles Club 7" release. The versions of "British Summertime", "Lights in My Brain" & "Canoe Trip", are edited down to slightly shorter lengths than the originals. "Skyclad" is a new, slightly longer alternate mix.
