The packaging of the album is great as well. Neil Rushton's liner notes about dancing in a laundrymat beacuse of a loop-hole in a rave-ban law in England is as funny as anything.

Excellent compilation, as mentioned many of the hardcore tunes from the mid-nineties used samples from this album.. I remember driving around the Pennines between Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield with my mates between raves and record shops ( There was no internet then) to get the best music. Pure class. Also Alternate play out alot but they never play their nexus 21 stuff. Get it together lads. You can only listen too evapourate so many times. SPB.

I've never forgotten the blurb on the back of this album. As the story goes: Sueno de Niro - the Italo Brummie, with his chain of Midlands launderettes, flaunts West Midlands by-laws by holding raves only when washing machines are spinning, later apprehended by police when Kid Persil grasses him up for embibing at 40 degrees.

Almost certainly meant as surrealist whimsy by its apparant inventor John McCready, but I was never absolutely sure...

As for the album? Pure class. Buy it.

Had This on tape when it first came out then phoned Network in 93 they found a copy on cd in an old dusty box and sent it direct ,the lovely lovely people , The Kate B - Free track is one of my all time faves, dreamy piano, sounds of the sea and thunderous bass. Pure Class. The whole album just "Takes me back"

This LP sums up an era of abstract techno and house music. If you were part of the scene then you will instantly recognise the tracks, even the earlier tracks which some were modelled on (ie Rhythmatic's Take Me Back samples Tranzistor - First Bass - which was produced in Detroit). If you were unfortunate enough to not have heard the underground music back then in 1988-1991 then this LP will still produce feelings of unity within, and will give an aural sense of the pinnacle of techno music excellence. Test me on this.

this is absolutely feckin majik!!! get it if you can find it, at all costs! you will recognize all the original tunes on here that were sampled from this to make the mid 90's anthems!
