Dieselboy - The Human Resource

Not exactly sure what's up with the complaint regarding the quality of this pressing. I have the full artwork release and mine's fine, so that nixes the "promo being better quality than the full release" theory. That being said, I agree with the statement about enjoying this release more fully listening to the 2 CD version. The Evol Intent mix is pretty good and is a pretty good representation of the label's sounds.

With respect to this release, I'm lukewarm about it. I was really hoping it would be something more along the lines, quality-wise, with "The Dungeonmaster's Guide" as that was great (!) but I can understand having these remixes on here as that was the intent I thought, to have a remix album... so Fresh's track feels a bit out of place here with the other 3 tunes.

The Upbeats remix of "Subculture" alone would be the reason to pick this up, as it is quite good, adding their own touches to update the original. The Counterstrike remix of "Extreme Steel" is pretty good too IMO - when I'm feeling like sounding more on the rock tip than dnb, I'll put this on with Concord Dawn's "Raining Blood" - ridiculous. Both of these are quality remnixes. To be fair, the Infiltrata + Hochi dub of "Barrier Break" is produced well, but it's just not my bag... I don't really like the breakdown, all slowed-down and what not.. sounds like complete toss to me, but I can see where some might like it. I just like the original and don't think this was a good re-interpretation of it. All in all, not a bad release, but certainly not one of the better releases on the label.

I have a promo copy, and the quality is fine.
It's not a great release. The Upbeats remix is pretty much the pick of the four, though the DJ Fresh tune is not that bad (but then 4 years is a very long time).

The quality of these pressings are horrible. If you wanna enjoy it you better get the 2xCD instead.
