What their label says...

Reissue of POLE's trilogy (1998 - 2000) as a 3xCD boxset including 4 bonus tracks and an 8 page booklet containing text by Rob Young (The Wire) +
pictures.
Each CD comes as a digipack … Sticker: "POLE 1 2 3 reissue with bonus tracks"
Originally released as three consecutive albums in their own right, it makes sense to treat these releases as a coherent trilogy.
The POLE trilogy is one mysterious, enigmatic electronic production. 1, 2 and 3 are part of a same methodical exploration of sounds, variations
around the same noises and clicks, a thorough examination of the impact of a same scenery put in different contexts. The use of dub gives a depth
to the otherwise arid compositions. With all 3 albums out of print for a while now, this trilogy is more important than it first appears.
