MLO

In the mid-'90s, Englishman Jonathon Tye and Australian Peter Smith crossed paths in London and launched the ambient-techno project MLO. The pair issued two EPs that year, Two Voyages and Garden, before unveiling their first album, Plastic Apple, later in the same period. Momentum appeared to fade once the record emerged, since Tye focused much of his attention on the solo outlet Twisted Science and on building the artist roster at his Lo Recordings label.
