Bandulu

Bandulu are a British electronic music and reggae group consisting of Jamie Bissmire, John O'Connell and Lucien Thompson.[1] The music often relies heavily on techno and dub elements. Releasing their first two albums on Creation Records sublabel Infonet, the group has also released albums on Blanco y Negro, Foundation Sound Works and Music Man Records. The group recorded three sessions for John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show.[2]

In his book Energy Flash, Simon Reynolds credited Bandulu as part of the "Texturology" subgenre, stating that "the best tracks on Bandulu's Guidance sounded like jazz-techno, as if Zawinul had somehow ended up band-leader of Tangerine Dream instead of Weather Report".[3]

gollark: Intel decided to add tons of cores to their laptops without (allegedly) increasing the TDP, so clocks are bad.
gollark: Well, the most powerful one is the last one, since it appears to have a decent processor and GTX 1660, but obviously other stuff matters.
gollark: It has an actual dedicated GPU, might be better for gaming.
gollark: If you aren't doing heavy gaming, then I think basically anything with a decently sized SSD, good screen (1080p+, IPS), enough RAM, recent i5/R5 and up, and whatever other stuff you want should be okay.
