Englishman Jonathon Tye and Australian Peter Smith met in London, where they formed the ambient-techno outfit MLO in the mid-'90s. After recording two EPs during 1996 (Two Voyages and Garden), the duo released their debut full-length Plastic Apple later that year. After its release, the group appeared to stall as Tye spent much time working with his solo project Twisted Science and on the roster for his Lo Recordings imprint. ~ John Bush, Rovi
