Review by ecclectrick Sep 15, 2009
Drumsdecksandrocknroll. Oh boy! if you have'nt heard this empirical tour de force, then you haven't lived. From the opening epic 'take California' 7.23 mins long, you know that something very special is happening & things will never be quite the same again. 'Echo & bounce'(track 2) is a perfect title & description for this bassy breakbeat techno triumph.
And no I'm not connected in any way with the Propellerheads, I just want to share this info with you because this album is probably the best on the planet.
Moving on - 'History repeating' with a sublime sample from the great Shirley Bassey will rattle your teeth & give your heart palpitations. 'A number of microphones' shows the dexterity & confidence of a production which cannot be improved upon.
Now for the best track on the album 'On her Majestys secret service' comes in at a right royal 9.23 mins, the James Bond theme, which would have Ian Flemming thanking the 'heads personally. The beats swirling & cavorting in perfect syncronicity, it really has to be heard to be believed.
not one track is dissapointing, a truly unforgettable masterpiece, it will complete your record collection if you only have 2 albums.
