This record is definitely a 33. But, track 4 sounds so good at 45, you cant deny the fact: that this can be oh too possible from the creative genius we are talking about here. (1 side being 45) I got to meet the man himself, on one of his rare sightings in SO_CAL. But why would anybody ask? Just like Aphex Twin and the universal indicator records, .....who cares. Advice for all collectors: Just listen to the music, (at the speed you like). That's what the artist will tell you!
Rated 5/5

I've downloaded various tracks from this album for mixtape purposes many times over. And every time I get a song recorded at the wrong speed, sounding like the Chipmunks speaking in tongues over an Adaadat release.

So let's be clear: Bogdan's very limited edition romp through DNB destruction is meant to be played at 33RPM. NOT 45! While there has been discussion as to whether or not track 4 is 45rpm (it has one side of wax all to itself, and there is an apparent tradition of DNB 12"s having the b-side cut at the faster speed), a cursory comparison of the tracks at both speeds should make it clear what the intended speed was.

For further proof, download the old tracker file of "Reach For Your Lives"...

Just put this brilliant puppy on and imagine all the intricately programed melodies and percussion dancing in invisible space.
