The concept behind this release was to release two tracks from the previous Dark Matter release by Somatic Responses of the same name, which at the time, and still today, was/is very difficult to find, due to the fact that it came out of Scotland on white label promo only, as well as to put out tracks that were reflective of the new style that Somatic Responses was producing, which IMHO is some of the most outstanding electronic music ever produced and they have kept it evolving ever since.

Initially, there were 500 pressed, most of which landed in France (Toolbox) and Germany (DigitalWorld) and distributed from those points worldwide, and soldout relativley fast.

An additional 300 were pressed, and this happened only because there was not proper communication between myself and the manufacturer, these additional 300 were mainly distributed by Syntax via DJ Nikadeemas and the remainder by Christoph Fringeli at Praxis.

As well, all the proceeds from the first pressing were used to support Somatic Responses on thier journey to the states from Wales, for a free party outside of New York in rural Pocono PA,( Core-Tex Labs,Gelstat and Capsule Corp. from France were also in the area to perform live performances,they came here from Europe because of the promise of a good party alone!) John SR did make it here too...and to this day it was THE VERY BEST FREE PARTY i have ever been involved with as well as attended here in the U.S. The live performance by J Somatic was outstanding!

The record was mastered a little on the low volume side and the pressing could have been a bit better...but all in all, it's a great record....revealing the sonic mastery of Somatic Responses from different phases of thier careers.

"Are you part of the problem, or part of the solution?"
Rated 4/5

Two older-style acid gabba things and two grinding industrial metallic bastard tunes with haunting synths. These two are the best imho.
