Since its inception in '89, the work of Eat Static has been legendary. To date, they have been crowned by Melody Maker Magazine as having the single of the week and have been nominated by NME magazine's reader's poll as the Best Live Act, cementing their status in their homeland, the UK, as an act on par with stalwarts Leftfield and Orbital. They have also been featured as the main act in all of the big festivals in Europe and their artistry remain unparalleled. In the summers of 2005 and 2008, they made their long awaited return to Japan, showcasing their amazing abilities as live performers through their use of fat analog synth sounds to create intricate layers on their numerous tracks, garnered them cross-over appeal and a huge following.
