In tomorrow... 25th anniversary edition. The late 1990s were a fertile time in the American electronic underground. A growing body of artists, spread around the nation, were engaging in the latest round of a decades-long transatlantic musical conversation. At the convergence of hip-hop, electronic, and soul music, these artists sought to carve out their own lane. In September 2001, New Orleans' Telefon Tel Aviv, high school friends Joshua Eustis and the late Charles Cooper, joined the conversation with their debut album, "Fahrenheit Fair Enough", released by Hefty Records. Eustis and Cooper were in the thrall of two musical orbits: American staples - New Orleans' bounce, Detroit's techno, Chicago's house, and British electronica - Autechre, Aphex Twin, Jega. Recorded over the course of a year in Eustis' childhood bedroom, "Fahrenheit Fair Enough" mapped out a potential for American electronic music in a time of hope. Deluxe obi edition double vinyl.
