About Psyence Fiction
Psyence Fiction is the debut album by the British electronic music collective U.N.K.L.E., released in 1998.

The album weaves together elements of trip-hop, electronica, and alternative rock, resulting in a genre-blurring sonic journey. Tracks like “Rabbit in Your Headlights” and “Lonely Soul” showcase the album’s atmospheric and cinematic qualities.
Psyence Fiction received critical acclaim and is recognized as a pioneering work in the electronic music landscape. It remains an influential and compelling record, blurring the lines between electronic, hip-hop, and rock genres.
