Pressboard and Ed Cetera bring a couple of "IDMish" moments to the Addict label, setting the tone of diversity that would continue throughout the catalogue. Both nice pieces and intelligible at either 33 or 45 rpm.
But I've always favored the dark side. The Davros contribution is a gem and one of the most versatile tracks in my crate (which it NEVER leaves). It is the perfect bridge, whether you're doing drum & bass, breakcore or gabber. Expertly structured and fun to juggle with. Over 8 minutes and it does not get boring the whole way through.
The Doormouse track is straight evil. A faster track, getting up to what you might call speedcore, with fucked up samples of an interview with some deranged religious zealot. It is punishing and mental and dark dark dark. "The bright morning star is Lucifer, Satan's only son. So then Jesus is Satan, and YOU are the messiah. I've got it now!" I'm sure this one has messed with some heads in strange, dark corners of abandoned warehouses.
