This must be one of the best releases from 2005. I first heard an Acidwolf track at a party, not so long ago. A dj I knew opened with Withered Sum, A2. I was just stunned and amazed by this great delicate electronic composition. So after his set I asked him what the name of that track was. Withered Sum is my favourite track on this record, but the other ones may not be underrated. The openingtrack Valley Shuffle is a great, at times, nasty acid track with a great beat. Montrose Rainbow is a happy sounding acid track, it reminds me of the Luke Vibert feelgood sound.
The B side kicks of with Scissor Gate Asid, not very special in my opinion but definately a nice track. Red Asid 12 is up next, a more uptempo and it has a little bit experimental things going on. Acid Church is my favourite track on this side together with the last track. A strange atmosphere is built up to an explosion of acid sounds, very nice beat also. The last track, S. Kedzie Theme is more laid back than the other tracks on this side. Very moody and more deep elements than many of the other tracks.

I'm not so much into acid normally, more into jungle, experimental, breakcore, idm stuff, but this is one of the best records I've bought in long time. Ben Jordan his interpretation on acid is really a perfect mix between dance-able, beautifull and wild tb303-action.It might sound odd, but his songs content tenderness aswell as roughness. A real classic for all lovers of electronic music!
