By 1991, Price had become fascinated by the British [[breakbeat]] music scene when his girlfriend, DJ [[Kemistry]], introduced him to the pioneering [[Oldskool jungle|jungle]] and [[drum and bass]] [[record producer|producers]] Dennis "Dego" McFarlane and Mark "Marc Mac" Clair, known as [[4hero]].<ref name=DoAndroidsDance/> He went on to execute some design and [[A&R]] work for 4hero's [[Reinforced Records]] label.

In 1992, Price made his first record appearance by contributing to an EP by Icelandic group Ajax Project that included the track ''Ruffige''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://grapevine.is/culture/music/2011/03/17/remembering-biogen |title=Remembering Biogen/ |first=Ragnar |last=Egilsson |work=The Reykjavík Grapevine |date=17 March 2011}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |title=Ajax Project, Thor, Biogen - Mach III |date=1992 |url=https://www.discogs.com/release/187885-Ajax-Project-Thor-Biogen-Mach-III |access-date=2024-12-02 |language=en}}</ref>

"Goldie revolutionised jungle not once but thrice", he noted in ''[[The Wire (magazine)|The Wire]]'' magazine, continuing, "First there was 'Terminator' (pioneering the use of time stretching), then 'Angel' (fusing [[Diane Charlemagne]]'s live vocal with [[David Byrne]]/[[Brian Eno]] samples to prove that hardcore could be more 'conventionally' musical), now there's 'Timeless', a 22-minute hardcore symphony."<ref name="Reynolds">Simon Reynolds, "Above The Treeline", ''The Wire'' #127, September 1994.</ref>

The album featured appearances by [[David Bowie]], [[Noel Gallagher]] and [[KRS-One]]. The album met with mixed reviews.
