Separator is the debut studio album of Scar Tissue, released on August 13, 1996, by 21st Circuitry.[2] It contained mostly tracks recorded for the demo the band recorded previous to joining the label.[3] The band's former lead singer departed before recording sessions for the album began.[4]
Aiding & Abetting praised the band for creating effective emotional atmosphere, saying "years after the fact, Scar Tissue has created a perfect soundtrack for Bladerunner."[5] A critic at Last Sigh Magazine gave the album a mostly positive review, calling it "dark, threatening and heavily clad" and further saying that "there are many dark ominous sections within the releases here that flirt with a semi-lighter side of the electronic technology of sound."[6] Sonic Boom also commended the material and said "Scar Tissue is a band not content to be contained within the fragile shell of a single musical style, preferring to exhibit their musical skills across a menagerie of genres."[3] The album peaked at the twentieth position on CMJ's Dance Top 25.[7] [8]
