"Drill'n'bass" outfit Animals on Wheels was the first signing to U.K. beatfreak label Ninja Tune from the Bovinyl imprint, run by Cambridge-based <a href="spotify:artist:3oVu37gcJLNpxeQtADBmjG">Andy Coleman</a>. <a href="spotify:artist:3oVu37gcJLNpxeQtADBmjG">Coleman</a> is also the principle behind AOW, whose humorous brand of jazzy, hyperdriven breakbeat fracture is comparable to that of <a href="spotify:artist:6kBDZFXuLrZgHnvmPu9NsG">Aphex Twin</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:02hWCZ8sbocjW8RyNq3NDq">Plug</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:4mtHSXwIHihO6MWNq5Qoko">Squarepusher</a>, among others. (The curious name derives, reportedly, from a friend of <a href="spotify:artist:3oVu37gcJLNpxeQtADBmjG">Coleman</a>'s who claims the largest collection of the likenamed tchotchkes.) <a href="spotify:artist:3oVu37gcJLNpxeQtADBmjG">Coleman</a> issued a trio of twelves on his own label, as well as a handful of compilation tracks, before releasing his debut for Ninja Tune, the full-length Designs and Mistakes, in 1997. A trendy blend of dimestore jazz samples, mile-a-minute breaks, and fizzy downtempo weirdness, the album probably missed the cheeky jungle curve by about six months, although it earned <a href="spotify:artist:3oVu37gcJLNpxeQtADBmjG">Coleman</a> a wider audience for his music than the comparatively short reach of Bovinyl allowed. Nuvo I Cadira followed in 1999. ~ Sean Cooper, Rovi
