I agree with M-Arckanum, this also being my first exposure to this incredible industrial noise unit. I was, upon first listen, completely blown away by every aspect of this release.
The production values alone could potentially change the approach to and acceptance of the genre of noise (although I still prefer the diy approach), setting the bar higher for quality releases.
This album is like listening to an insane non-stop super violent action thriller film. Full of well placed samples from film, tension filled rising ambiance, building into crushing beat driven power noise, power electronics and all out noise.
It is supposed to tell the story of a highway bound serial killer in the 70's that preys on hitchhikers, though the theme is kind of loose it never looses it's overall stressful and nerve wrecking momentum.
I recommend this to anyone who seeks adrenalized intensity in there music. Absolutely essential!

I am suprised to see the poor ratings this CD has gotten. This was my first exposure to Propergol and when I heard this CD for the first time I was totally blown away. The clean production for such a noise album does not come around often but it is veey well done here. Don't let the ratings above fool you if your a fan of abrasive noise music because this CD is in my opinion top shelf material.
