Still love this EP, still better than most things you'll hear now, the Killer EP was great, but I wish they'd made more like this. Hard to believe it's 17+ years old.

Stunning basslines in all 3 of the tracks and the Analogue / Vinyl warmth will send shivers up your spine, especially if all you've ever heard is this nasty glitchy minimal "techno" people are churning out at the moment.

Highlight is probably "Courting Madness" as the previous reviewer states, it's a gem.

Oh yeh and check out "Zero Zero - Thank God For Evil" on youtube, as it bizarrely isn't mentioned here on discogs.

This is one of my favourite records of its time. Every track is well produced, and not really your typical rave track. There's nothing that springs to mind that sounds remotely like it. The main one on side A being the sublime Sanity Clause, which (aside from the slightly annoying sample of "COME ONE" running through it) kicks A*se, especially when the bleepy tune kicks in over the top of the bass.

As mentioned before though, the best track on this record is Courting Madness. Easily in my mind the best thing Zero Zero have done. Chilled Vocals, and Acid tinged breaks make this an absolute classic and a must for any true Old School fan.

Not too keen on the main traxk on this, but hidden away on the flip side is a hidden gem. 'Courting madness' is a truly sublime piece of bassline driven rave tranciness with momentary blissfull breakbeat moments. Track it down and take a listen.Class.

I love this, the main track is the best, although the others are good too. it's slightly uplifting, lovely wobbling bass and nice and bleepy. some good / original samples, makes me feel very very nostalgic, pre-drum and bass, although zero zero went on to do some more fine stuff s bit more in that direction.
