The highlight of this album is without doubt "Ruffpet". It's hard to give a description of this track that really does it justice, but suffice to say that it's got layers upon layers of gabber kicks, breakbeats, oldskool stabs, bubbling acid, warm atmospherics and a few choice samples from old Ruffneck records, all carefully blended together to create a particularly original hardcore masterpiece. What's particularly amazing is the way that there's so much going on in the track, but it never feels too cluttered, or messy - the production is spot on, everything sounds clear and it all fits together perfectly.
The rest of the album is pretty cool too, although on a different tip - an interesting mix of techno, acid and all sorts of other things combined in a unique way. But if you like your hardcore, then it's worth buying this just for "Ruffpet". It's certainly my favourite track of the year so far.
