So I spend a few years off from buying records, going to clubs, and generally ignoring dance music while I am trying to sober up and find some new employment to support my family. When I finally come back I am fully expecting Trance to still be ruling the roost when it comes to electronic music, but find out I am wrong and learn that Minimal and Dub Techno are getting all the hype. So I bought a Deep Chord set for big money thinking I am catching up and find it to be disappointing and find that it can not hold a candle to the old colored vinyl 12s of theirs I have...

I read on an online retailers website that this Drug Related Stories thing lives up to the hype that has been building for months and months. Wait, what hype? I hadn't read a thing about it until it came out and didn't hear a sound clip until well after it was out. Doesn't matter though. Jared Wilson's latest record is so good it could take on all they hype given to Deep Chord, Gerald Hanson, any echospace [Detroit], Perlon, or M_nus release for the last five years and the next five years. The A side has two Acid (almost) House tracks that make you bounce your head and weave to the beat...And listen closely to the vocal sample. The B side is absolutely horrifyingly good, if those words can actually be used in that order to effectively describe it. Tadd Mullinix and Todd Osborn absolutely abused me and my eardrums so badly I felt the need to call Child Protective Services on them for the effect it may of had on my children's future.

If you see this one pick it up. It really doesn't what the price tag says, because it is worth it.
