Review by DJSebastianWolfe Jul 16, 2004 (edited over 5 years ago)
In this release, dated 1997, you can see a huge progression in sylistic change. It is more complicated than the standard Adam Beyer type, P-Rhythm releases, and must more interesting to listen to. The sounds jump out at the audience, assaulting the listener with uncomfortable soundscapes and strange melodic ideas.

A1 - In Tension in New York - the sounds escape from the song in a cacophony. This is a really great song.

A2 - Stretch Copenhagen - provides the listener (or DJ) with a nice long introduction before the main theme of the song begins. The theme is introduced by a metallic sound and takes front stage later on in the song. The Atonal nature of the main motive is quite interesting, reminding me of Arnold Schoenberg or other 20th century artists.
This track is wonderful to listen to.

B1 - Perhaps the best track on this release is entitled Monaco Grand Prix. The song starts off strong and doesn't relent from that position. It gives a medium length introduction until you are just floored when the bassline comes in. Wow. I love this part of the song. Every single time I hear this song, it not only makes me smile, but makes me put my hands in the air. Wow. If for no other track, buy this double pack for this song. It doesn't disappoint.

B2 - Harsh and experimental - this sound is music to my ears. No one else, besides maybe the wacky duo of Subhead, had the audacity to make music like this. (If you find someone who has, email me.) Like Beethoven before him, he delights in taking chances and making music for himself and not the audience. Luckily, some of us "get it". Wow.

The other record on this double pack continues down this similiar path - if you don't have this release, order it. Seriously. Wonderful and inspiring
