Rated 5/5

Review by TEKNONUTTER Dec 02, 2004 (edited over 5 years ago)

'The Incredible' on side B is pure, minimal, repetative slammin', hardcore tech-noise with Chuck D's voice sampled & looped over & over, making for a kick-ass stomper.

'Overload' is a very apt title for track A, because that's what it is - an acid techno, sonic overload. Deep, psychedelic, and dark textures with screaming, whistling riffs. The 303s, synths & distant robot voices start off quite deep, hypnotic & subtle at first before they're turned on full steam ahead to a barrage of mayhem. The 303 bassline is wicked and competes with any that were made before or since.

This release sounded really underground at the time and under-rated at that. One of the best early ESP releases IMHO, straight out of Holland!
