Port Sulphur was formulated upon Douglas MacIntyre recording tracks as a member of Sexual Objects with Boards of Canada producing - The fusion of the BOC electronics with the SOBS' Velvets' drones became a sonic template for early Port Sulphur recordings - Another infuence was Bowie's 1977 game-changing album, 'Low'

META GURU is an album collection of new material and reworked/ remodelled older songs. MacIntyre's book Hungry Beat (published by White Rabbit) about the Fast Product ignition of Scotland's post- punk independent scene is another touchstone. Artists associated with the Hungry Beat period contributed heavily to the album - Vic Godard (Subway Sect); Paul Research (The Scars); Davy Henderson (Fire Engines); James Kirk (Orange Juice) - with all being involved in the writing and recording process. 

Side 1 of the META GURU is largely instrumental with Side 2 featuring vocal performances. The fnal track on the album is a cover of Josef K's 'It's Kinda Funny', which is ftting as their guitarist Malcolm Ross produced the only single by MacIntyre's teenage group Article 58 (who also supported Josef K on a short English tour in 1981). The album was recorded at Green Door studio in Glasgow. META GURU is modern music. Released by LNFG on dusk blue vinyl.
