J Saul Kane expanded upon his earlier work (under the moniker Eon) by mixing together breakbeat, dub and house with samples from movie soundtracks. He also formed a company to distribute Hong Kong kung fu flicks in the UK! The result was a unique style which has now been copied by many.

This album collects some of the best early Depth Charge tracks together. Sublimely mad breakbeat tunes such as Shaloin Buddha Finger sit alongside virtual dub plates such as Dead By Dawn. The choice of movie samples (Sergio Leone westerns, kung fu flicks, Sam Raimis Evil Dead) all conspire to produce a rollicking, atmospheric album which absolutely does not dissapoint.
