"Wilmot" comes from Haunted Dancehall, the second studio album by the English electronic outfit the Sabres of Paradise, which Warp released in November 1994. It's credited to Andrew Weatherall, Jagz Kooner and Gary Burns; the group produced and mixed it themselves, and Scruff added extra production.
The album it lives on has aged well. NME placed it 47th among the year's albums, The Guardian put it on its list of 1000 albums to hear before you die in 2007 and billed it as techno's first concept album, it's in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, and in 2026 DJ Mag's Joe Muggs heard the post-rave landscape of the '90s captured in it.
