What the label says:

"Indian Ink" was the debut album from Meanwhile, back in Communist
Russia..., the now-defunct Oxford six-piece who blended post-rock
dynamics, avant-garde electronica and spoken-word monologues to
produce something like a female-fronted Mogwai covering Arab Strap.
It includes both tracks from the double A-side single "No Cigar/ Morning After Pill", which reached number 11 in John Peel's Festive
Fifty of 2001 and earned them both a Peel session on Radio 1 and an
XFM session with John Kennedy. At the time the NME praised their
"clamorous guitars ... glacial synths and programmed beats", while
more recently they've been immortalised in song by Los Campesinos - a
sure sign that they remain touchstones of UK post-rock.

About the humble 10":

The 10" sits somewhere in between the 7" and 10" (kind of like a wierd cousin). This awkward variant exists for no other reason aside from to be different from it's other family members. It can provide less music than a 12" but more than a 7". It's almost like a budget 12" or a posh 7". Either way it's wierd and it needs sorting out. Maybe it's quirkyness has helped it carry on defying all rules and convention? Importantly though it plays at a multitude of speeds so it is still quintessentially a total bargain (albeit a total freak of a bargain).
