Extra Virgin

About

Extra Virgin was the first (1996) release for British electronic trio Olive. This defined Olive's style, spawning three single, "You're Not Alone" (which was rereleased twice), "Outlaw", and "Miracle". The trip-hop influence of Massive Attack and Portishead, while in small quantitie, are evident, mixed in with synth-based electronic dance. Overview Recording Synthesizers used on the album were a Roland Juno-60, a E-mu Systems Vintage Key, and an Akai S3000XL sampler. Mixing was done on a Mackie mixing console. The band created some samples by recording live sound, edited and subsequently filtered. Track listing All songs written by Tim Kellett and Robin Taylor-Firth.
