==================================================================================== Automation / Triple Helix Records UK Discography (1991-1992) ==================================================================================== Initiated, maintained + all comments by Hutcho - with BIG thanks to Tony Roseman (Lee Roseman's brother & Automation's MC/Crew dancer) for updates! Not much info on this (seemingly & unfortunately) short-lived underground hardcore label. Very stab-driven or grindy in style they have a sound all their own. Automation + Yon are the only artists credited with production...only artist info I've seen was given on the 'Pink EP' label. Dunno why they stayed anonymous so long, this crew produced some of the most advanced UK 'Jungle Techno' of this period and it must be said also some of the most 'far ahead of its time' in production, quality & sound - so they should be proud of their work I reckon - full respect lads. The Triple Helix [TXXX] releases especially, set the standard and you'd often hear some of these bangin fast tracks in sets by Carl Cox, Keith Suckling, Grooverider, Colin Dale, Colin Favor etc. This series is often referred to as the 'coloured series' by collectors...each EP having its sleeve + info details the same colour as its name. Suddenly they seemed to stop after the Yellow EP and I have not seen any further work from them...shame. Probably never pressed in great numbers (especially the Auto# series) these are very sought after records + some I have NEVER seen for sale...so finding em ain't easy.
