This is one of the best techno records ever produced. A timeless track which outshines all other Basic Channel releases. Even after listening to it for the 100th time, it still is a dark, atmospheric, mindblowing, hard piece of electronic music.
I always remember listening to this whilst at the peak of a heroic dose of mushrooms. It was prior to it's release from a cassette I recorded off the radio so at the the time it was pretty fresh and sounded amazing. Gritty and upbeat, giving real form to the then developing Basic Channel sound, I still find it inspiring today.
