V.A.G.A.B.O.N.D* Feat MC Wotsee - True Awareness / Axis Mundi

This record didn't get much promotion on compilations but those who were aware of it, most probably hammered it down to VG-/Fair condition (I myself had to get a second copy).

In my opinion this is the peak of Vagabond's 'power hardcore' - occupying synth leads over classical interludes (!) in a way that wasn't heard before, giving a huge push to the boundaries of hardcore, if this stuff is not beyond hardcore. As usual from Vagabond, every second is worked out to extreme detail - one will eventually get lost even trying to count the tracks... Vagabond's 'World Of Unknown' could be cited as a sequel but unfortunately after that track there weren't much more of this sound. Favourite record for 2004.
