Jedna od najvažnijih priča elektronske glazbe počinje 1989. kada na vrhuncu acid-house eksplozije bubnjar svemirskih Ozric Tentacles-a Merv Pepler, zajedno sa Joie Hintonom i Steve Everitt-om uzima stvari u svoje ruke i stvara jedinstveni Eat Static. Godinu-dvije-tri ekipa provodi u studiju i 1993. izlazi briljantni UFO-delični "Abduction". Možda i ponajbolji elektronski album svih vremena… Eh, to bi možda i bilo tako da godinu dana kasnije svjetlo dana nije ugledao "Implant", psihodelično-spejs-tehno remek djelo…Silne godine ispred vremena u kojem je nastalo…U međuvremenu, produktivnost ne posustaje i izlazi mnoštvo EP-ova na sada zamrlom "Planet Dog-u" kao što su "Epsylon, Bony Incus, Hybrid“ itd. I tu se već između redaka može naslutiti kakav će vjetar propuhati novi album. "Science Of The Gods" izlazi 1997. Drum'n'Bass utjecaj prisutan je na albumu, jednako kao i njihova iznimna maštovitost. Naravno, psihodeličnog alienovskog zvuka uopće ne nedostaje...1998. se gasi kultni "Planet Dog" i posljednje izdanje je "živi" "B-World", zbirka snimaka sa tadašnje UK turneje…U međuvremenu Steve Everitt napušta bend, a 1999. svjetlo dana je ugledao "Mesmobeat", label na kojem su poizdavali svu silu svojih starih izdanja poput "Alien EPs, Prepare Your Spirit, Decadance, Alien Artifakts" te izvanredni "Crash & Burn", fantastičnu kombinaciju rokerskog drum'n'bass-a, etnolikih breaksa, psihodeličnog techna i čega sve ne…I taman kad se pomislilo da se od ovoga bolje ne može, eto i njega… "In The Nude"…najbolji album 21. stoljeća prodrmao je uši, dušu, mozak i stražnjice sretnika koji su imali to zadovoljstvo…Jazz, techno, breakbeat, funk, dnb, rock, dub, psihodelija…Sve na jednom mjestu, nevjerojatno maestralno posloženo…Glavni junak ove priče, Merv Pepler, produkcijski maestro, bez posla ne može i osim u Eat Staticu, vrijeme provodi stvarajući glazbu na raznim stranama…Do 1999. bio je bubnjar Ozric Tentacles-a s kojima još uvijek povremeno zasvira (primjerice na netom završenoj turneji) te surađuje na albumima. 2000-te se zajedno sa "Ozric" Steve Wynne-om opušta kao "Nodens Ictus" i izdaje dubodelično-ambijentalni album "Spacelines"."Dendron" je ime koje uzima za solo breakbeat-dnb projekt, te također na "Mesmobeat-u" izbacuje odličan "Supernatural Jazz"…To kao da je bilo samo zagrijavanje za 2004., kada izdaje dva albuma…Prvi od njih odradio je sa Steve Jolliffe-om, veteranom iz "Tangerine Dream-a" koji pod imenom "Hi-Fi Companions" na Twistedovom chill sublabelu "Backroom Beats" objavljuju "Swingers In Paradise". Will White iz nikad prežaljenih Propellerheads-a u projektu nazvanom "Flexitones" pridružio se Pepleru na stvaranju dub-downtempo-breaks poslastice prikladnog naziva "Joyrider". Nakon trogodišnje stanke, lani je na japanskom "Solstice-u" izlašla dugoočekivana techno/trance/breakbeat/dnb majstorija "De-Classified", a ove je godine u srpnju, Eat Static objavio downbeat album: odlični "Back To Earth" na Interchillu. Uskoro ćemo slušati još i novi Dendronov album te Metal Sharon, ultimativnu kombinaciju, koju čine Merv Pepler + Simon "Hallucinogen-Shpongle" Posford. 2008.-a je bila prekretnica zbog Joievog odlaska iz benda zbog nagomilanog umora uzrokovanog stalnim turnejama i naravno, obiteljskih obveza. Ipak, Merv maksimalno uživa u stvaranju, što se i osjeti na svim njegovim projektima, tako da za Eat Static nema zime. Osim izdavanja hrpe albuma i EP-ova, Eat Static je remiksirao face kao što su Senser, Front Line Assembly, Joujouka, Green Nuns Of The Revolution, Ozric Tentacles, Banco De Gaia, Shpongle ili ManMadeMan te objavio gomilu chill/dub/breaks/dnb/psytrance mjuze na mnoštvu raznih kompilacija i izdavačkih kuća kao što su Matsuri, Planet Dog, Blue Room, TIP.world, Solstice, Interchill, Rubbish...
