Debut self-titled album (1991) runs approximately 66 minutes and features collaborators named in the DeBaser review including Alex Paterson, Youth, Paul Oakenfold, Derrick May and Miquette Giraudy. The project blends techno, ambient house, dance, electronics and chill-out elements.

The DeBaser review by giovanniA discusses System 7's 1991 debut, highlighting Steve Hillage's guitar within a dense electronic framework. The album mixes ambient, techno, house and dance and features notable collaborators. The reviewer sees it as a pivotal, slightly divisive move toward danceable electronic music.

Notable Quotes

❝ If a frontier guitarist like Steve Hillage brings into the studio musicians of the caliber of Alex Paterson (the leader of the Orb), Youth (the bassist of Killing Joke), Paul Oakenfold (one of the most famous and highest-paid DJs in the world), Derrick May (a representative of the Detroit techno scene), and another half a dozen acolytes, including the keyboardist (and companion) Miquette Giraudy, well, the least that can happen is the birth of 66 minutes of music that brings together techno, ambient house, dance, electronics, chill out, and much more, not excluding drum and bass, hip-hop, and sampling.
