Review by cvoltaire02 Feb 15, 2004
I just listened to this yesterday after not hearing it for years and it STILL sounds great. It hasn't aged at all. The flipside, "Anitina", is a completely different beast. It's a tremendous spaced out dubby excercise with cavernous basslines, ultra-processed vocals, and a slow, pounding synthbeat. One of the most innovative b-sides ever put onto vinyl.
Rated 5/5

"Pump Up The Volume" is the first record that introduced me to electronic music.
I have waited all my life for such a sound and M.A.R.R.S. made it...
How many tracks have been brilliantly sampled here ?
In 1987!!!!! INCREDIBLE!!!
The first Européean house music anthem.
