Luke Slater - The Astral Adventures Of RK-1

This production comes before Lukes wonderful Planetary Assault Systems work on Peacefrog.It has a tough,hard techno edge to it,not unlike his releases on the Djax label,especially the B side,"sector 32" and "directional".Side A starts with "plastic crash" an acid techno track very Detroit influenced,done in Lukes own style.The top track by far is side A number two "hydralic blisters",play it three or four times before you judge it,you will soon realise what an intelligent,dancefloor trance tune this is,the heavy bassline gets more complicated as it goes on,thumping and skipping.With the effective chirping riff this track sets itself as a must have from this era.For a number of years(and still today)this was 'Lost' host and DJ Steve Bicknells "call to arms!"When you hear that bass coming through the speakers confusion takes over but you cannot stop your feet from moving,long live the underground...
