Review by Andy-ed Feb 12, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
Just listening to the ESP + Industrial Strength releases tonight.. I'm so sad that Nico is no longer around.. Great acid tracks and production that really epitomises what techno and acid was all about in the early nineties.. I can remember dancing in clubs to sets where Nico's tracks featured heavily (Dave Angel especially) alongside other deep, hard techno classics.. What amazing music and good times.. Sorely missed.. Nice one Nico :)
