"The original brief for the new album was: guitar under a microscope. In places it's the heaviest Darkroom album yet, but also the most accessible, combining 70s space rock, 80s Sheffield electronica, 60s guitar instrumentals and 90s post rock. "Mixing classic synthesizer & guitar tones with contemporary post-production, this album combines improvisation with carefully crafted and layered arrangement, and rewards repeated listening. From Santana & Tangerine Dream to Cocteau Twins & Tortoise: file under ambient stadium rock." Track listing:

Many view Nemeton's "Remix 2", the last track on The DAC Mixes, as amongst the highlights of the album. "Remix 2" was picked as being the best of the four remixes submitted by Nemeton, but it was a close call as the band considered all of them excellent. Rather than have these tracks languishing, unheard, on the Darkroom hard drive, the band decided to put these out as a free download and a subtle advertisement for the original 'The DAC Mixes' album itself (which featured mixes and contributions from Bass Communion, Tim Bowness, Theo Travis, Peter Chilvers and Centrozoon, amongst others).

A piece originally composed for an as yet unreleased Greek compilation album themed around the concept of the "deconstructed guitar". Mike Bearpark's trademark multi-pedal guitar techniques are put through the unique Os studio filter to produce this evocative Fripp and Eno-tinged soundscape. Track listing:

The Digital/Analogue Cambridge Festival took place on June 30th 2001 at the Cambridge Museum of Technology. Various artists were installed around the buildings, creating a continuous sonic collage for the attendees to wander through. Mike and Os of Darkroom played for over 3 hours and recorded most of that. For this project, the mixers were given about an hour selected from those recordings. The only constraint they were given was that their mix had to use at least some of this material. Track listing:

 Seethrough (remaster)
(2003)
Buy CD from burningshed.com
"Originally released in 1999, Seethrough is the most dynamic, twisted and song-orientated release in the band's career. "Seven slices of electronica-driven aural assaults (occasionally recalling the more extreme experiments of Underworld or Wild Opera-era No-Man), find Messrs Bearpark, Bowness and Os maniacally playing with the possibilities of the turn of the century pop song. "How S Club 8 should sound in 2003!" Track listing:

 Fallout 3 (2002)
Buy CD from burningshed.com
"Fallout 3 is a celebration of the art of post-production, subjecting unreleased Darkroom live material to the possibilities of the studio while retaining the music's improvisational spirit. Amorphous, eerie and winningly ethereal, Fallout 3 is perhaps the most audacious and intriguing of the band's releases so far. Featuring the full trio of Michael Bearpark, Tim Bowness and Os."

 Fallout 2 (2002)
Buy CD from burningshed.com
"Featuring Darkroom as duo (Michael Bearpark and Os), Fallout 2 is another collection of hair raising live performances from this impossible to pigeon-hole improv-electronica outfit." Track listing:

 Fallout One (2001)
Buy CD from burningshed.com
"The first in Darkroom's live Fallout trilogy, this collection mainly dates from performances in London and Cambridge in 1999/2000 and features the full trio of Tim Bowness, Michael Bearpark and Os. "A seamless blend of treated vocal and guitar improvs, scattergun rhythms and inventive synth experiments which calls to mind an unholy alliance between Fripp/Eno, Photek and Satan himself."
