A User’s Guide is the fifth album by Ultramarine. Originally issued in 1998, this eclectic and intriguing set marked a return to the independent sector after five years on major label WEA. Largely electronic, the album also represents a partial return to the ambient-techno textures of signature work Every Man & Woman Is A Star.

Recorded and produced by Paul Hammond and Ian Cooper at their London studio in 1997, reference points include Autechre, Carl Craig, Eric Dolphy and Scientist.
