Crossed Wires — the lost EP and never-before-released counterpart to Thought Universe’s album Mixed Messages — is the second instalment in a seven-part cassette series. The work of Manchester producer Mark Pilkington, Thought Universe is known for immersive, genre-defying soundscapes, with past releases on Dalriada and the legendary Skam Records. Across four richly atmospheric tracks, Crossed Wires extends the sonic world of Mixed Messages — weaving intricate beat-work, processed textures, and a cinematic sense of tension and space. Captured in warm analogue hiss, the tape embodies Pilkington’s unique blend of IDM, ambient and electroacoustic experimentation. A collaboration between Vintage Youth × Eastern Bloc, this cassette is strictly limited to 25 copies. Once these 25 are gone, they’re gone — and the series moves forward. Available exclusively here or in-store at Eastern Bloc.
