Review by baj Jun 14, 2009
One of the best acid/hoover tracks, combining the party genius of Mundo Muzique, Beltram and Hawtin in FUSE mode. Mix it in with a slow builder right and it will drive people insane. The new schoolers will go crazy wondering WTF you just dropped. On 3 turntables even better to mix in and out of, it's over 7 minutes long. Also great very fast. What's great is also the techno-overlord voice decreeing "Vortex!" here and there -- which sounds like either "I want sex" or "phone sex". Makes me nostalgic for the time when techno was messy, crazy and fun.
Rated 5/5
Review by Philosopher Mar 15, 2003
Another important release for the history of techno. This record was more frenzied and wild than much of the techno that had come before, with a slow but steady increase in intensity as the track progesses. It is an early record in the career of both Richie Hawtin and Joey Beltram, and is also notable in that its structure has snare drums between the kicks and not on every second beat as was almost always the case at the time.
