For good or bad; this record was massive and would not go away until eventually. It found its way into stadium playlist anthems and jock jams.
A patient record that took at least a year from initial launch. To launching a sound with its second life through licensing and re-licensing. One of the early hit records of the then emerging Belgian Techno sound which, along with things like Anesthesia (also by Abbeloos and Foort), Senses, etc broke the dead horse that was the by then painful new beat sound and buried it.

And this from the guys that later made freaky disco/drum workouts via their Holographic label.
Rated 5/5

The main sound of the theme of "Quadrophonia" was sampled from the intro of 16 bit : "Changing Minds", the intro is a sample of Yellow Magic Orchestra : "Computer Game".
The rest is a mixture quite innovative even if you can hear an "808 State" influence.
Like Lucien Foort said in a MTV interview in 1990 :
"We try to make a different kind of music with all sorts of aspects soul, hip hop, techno, new beat" ...
It was a hit, that's amazing because there were no sounds like that on tv or radio at the time.
I think that "Quadrophonia" was one of the records that launched the Hardcore-Breakbeat era.
