I know that many of you allready know it, but I am posting this review for those who don't know. Many of us like Promo of each record because usually the Promo is released before the regular pressing. But in this case it makes a special sense to have the Promo. First, it includes 2 more versions than the regular one. Second it includes the Club Version which is 9 Minutes long, this ultra long version is only on the Promo pressing, this version is very similar to the version on the LP. Also this pressing includes the Radio Edit version. This is a real MUST HAVE Promo, boombastic.

This is an important piece for me-- I recall buying NOS sealed copies of this circa 1996 in New York State and gifting them out to prized friends. The "serious" side of Newcleus is one that only recently has gotten much attention, and this is one of those tracks. This track is the essence of the cold, anxious view of an oppressively technological future that only electro can communicate. Crushing beats, densely programmed bass hits, and that tense feeling of dread over polyrhythms-- it's an amazing mix, topped off by the bassy vocals contrasting with the vocoder vocals. One of my all-time favorites and as important as any other Newcleus track.

"Who will suffer, who will survive?... It's up the the computers. Push The Button." Essential electro.
