Is still remember when in mid-1999 I bought a superb Hard House/Hard Trance compilation called “Fist – The Second Coming” and there was a track by a certain “Delta” curiously named “As a child I could walk on the ceiling”; a track which instantly grabbed my attention and became one of my favourites ever. This was my first experience with a Delta track.

Now let’s come to this album. The cover is a perfect indication of the content. If you are looking for the best definition of Psychedelic-techno and Horror-trance then this is it. Released in 1999, this album sounds timeless due to its superb production and futuristic sound. “As a child I could walk on the ceiling” has a bass line sounding like the so called “full-on” which appeared after 2002 but this was released in 1997! If there’s a timeless track, then this is it. Track 4, “Thing”, sounds like the last track being played on earth while witnessing the apocalypse. Track 7, “Supercell” is a super-minimal track with a thundering sound all through. And the closing dub remake of the curiously named track I love so much is also really sweet. The slow(er) tempo on most tracks continues to add to the horror spectrum in the background.

Eight out of the ten tracks on this album have appeared on compilations; one of the two which didn’t make it is just the forty-seven seconds long “Intro”. It’s very rare for an album to have almost all tracks appearing on subsequent compilations and this is a perfect example why even though you might already have all tracks scattered on compilations (like me) you *still* need to buy certain albums and enjoy them as an *album*.

If you like Scizoeffective try also X-Dream’s Irritant, Spirallianz’s Blast Food, Midi Miliz’s Antistant and of course their 2001 follow-up Send In Send Back.

Do you see the link behind those names? Then get anything with that name behind. And before I forget, The Delta recently released Minusman!
