After some years of trying I got a copy of this much hyped release by Mr Mills.
I was not dissapointed. This record is typical of Mills at the time i.e furious industrial tinged techno which took no prisoners.
It is possibly his finest release, with the exception of 'Late Nite'/'Berlin', however due to the rather quiet pressing on my copy these have to come a close second.

As played by Dave Clarke, Laurent Garnier, Dave Angel..
The DNA mix is the one that was caned by most Dj's.. It is one hell of a powerfull track.
It is the most scary, aggressive, but moving piece of 'Hard' industrial techno I have ever heard. I can remember trying to dance to this track ten years ago - It blew my mind.
Definately what turned me onto Jeff Mills and made me the die hard fan I am today - (Thanks Laurent)...

The retro mix is my favorite techno track of all time. It even tops The Bells, imo. Its very deep and dark. If I owned this record I would be afraid to throw it into my sets. I am unworthy of such an honor =).
I would KILL for this record! Ok, not really.

At the time it was released i imagine it turned a few heads, but it is one of those "ok, it's something new and different" type releases that steadily works its way to the back of the box, then the back of the stacks under the tables. maybe i just never saw the appeal of the "boom-shhh boom-tick" minimal techno sound. However, be that as it may i will say it is ok, but there are some really stellar releases that came out around the same time that still make frequent trips to my decks. This one will hang around as a collector's item, but likely will gather dust.
