Theres no reason to discredit this record.
The "Trance Mission" track is a challenge to the famous and hard Underground Resistance tracks of 1992.
The track is affected by monotone slamming sounds which are side by side a straight forward stomping
808 bass drum. It is the Old School of hard techno or tekkno and this first release of 7th City should be a
signal for all other labels in 92. A year which stands for hard, powerful and sometimes even aggressive tracks.
One of those famous tracks is "Planet Earth" on the other side.
Claude Young brings an analogue air raid out of the PA rumbling through the club. A voice comes consistantly
with the sound - "There Is No Planet Earth - There Is No - There Is No Planet Earth". Its a dark journey into
sound, a more quality track of this decade in which a bigger number of cheap shit was produced.
The record contains a very special style of pressing: One track plays inside/out, IN(!) the other track is written
The Ultimate In Audio Distortion.
Not only for this style of pressing format this first 7th City record is a collectors item.

If you like UR the harder stuff/early Tresor/Petra(Vienna,C.Just tracks) I can recommend this record.
If you want to buy it because you like later Bell stuff like "Im loosing control" I cant do it, because this is more aggressive.
Its no groovy its evel. Its no nice party at the weekend disco with mainstream funky girls and boys - it is serious and loud
tekkno for the underground club.
