Decent slabs of distorted beat-electronics from an unlikely-looking artist that hails from Blackpool http://www.planet.mu/artists/Chevron. Picked this up from the excellent Amoeba in San Francisco, because obviously, being from Preston, Lancashire, UK, that's where you'd go to buy a record from someone from Blackpool.
Swimmin' Lessons verges on a song, about, funnily enough, swimming in your pajamas and collecting bricks from the bottom of a pool. I Remember is much more standard-for-the-time Planet Mu IDM. Interesting, but by no means essential.
Seems he's doing slightly different stuff these days improvising with a TB-303 and "hardware effects", as this hour-long live set testifies:
