Reviews & Discussion
I bought this album on the merit of including Acid Rock. Lo and behold, it turned out to be a wise purchase because the tracks on this are outstanding. For those of you who love electronic body music or industrial (I mean real industrial music, not the guitar speed metal that it mutated into), such as Front 242 or Nitzer Ebb, you will love this. It's the perfect transition from EBM to early 90s techno. Shame that this album seems to be so rare. It really deserves to be re-released. Note that the CD contains the full versions of the tracks, and not the three minute edits found on the vinyl.
If you like New Beat or Acid House, you need this record. Almost every track on here is a stormer, and they are all dark & acidic, with none of the fluffy pop tracks included on so many other compilations of the New Beat era. Some are a little dated, but I still find myself playing this out in modern techno sets now and again. It's a shame they are all edited to 3 minutes, though...
