Double Vinyl repress housed in a Gatefold Sleeve with Poster and Download. Few albums can match Battles' Warp debut for innovation coupled with accessibility. On 'Mirrored', Ian Williams, Dave Konopka and Tyondai Braxton found the subverted soul of glam, pushed it through the avant-machine (Reich, Riley), grew some overdriven metal guitar chops, listened to a whole lot of African music and consorted with the Aphex devil.
