Background
The album is mostly instrumental and minimal, taking cues from French house and early American hip-hop. All music was composed on mainly analogue synthesisers and equipment, most notably the Korg MS-20 analog synthesizer, as opposed to later works that would rely upon digital equipment and techniques.
The track "Last Night a DJ Killed My Dog" is a reference to Indeep's 1980's single "Last Night a D.J. Saved My Life". French producer and future Ed Banger Records labelmate Feadz provides most of the turntable work on the record.

Critical reception
The album received generally favourable reviews on release, and has become an influence in the electronic genre. AllMusic reviewer John Bush described the album as "a left-field treat for both pop-culture seekers and genuine music fans".[3]
In 2009, Brandon Ivers of XLR8R stated, "Analog Worms Attack's overtly gritty production was the odd link between French house and a parallel-world, wonky version of instrumental hip-hop."[5]
