This record is definitely a 33. But, track 4 sounds so good at 45, you cant deny the fact: that this can be oh too possible from the creative genius we are talking about here. (1 side being 45) I got to meet the man himself, on one of his rare sightings in SO_CAL. But why would anybody ask? Just like Aphex Twin and the universal indicator records, .....who cares. Advice for all collectors: Just listen to the music, (at the speed you like). That's what the artist will tell you!Rated 5/5

I've downloaded various tracks from this album for mixtape purposes many times over. And every time I get a song recorded at the wrong speed, sounding like the Chipmunks speaking in tongues over an Adaadat release.
So let's be clear: Bogdan's very limited edition romp through DNB destruction is meant to be played at 33RPM. NOT 45! While there has been discussion as to whether or not track 4 is 45rpm (it has one side of wax all to itself, and there is an apparent tradition of DNB 12"s having the b-side cut at the faster speed), a cursory comparison of the tracks at both speeds should make it clear what the intended speed was.
For further proof, download the old tracker file of "Reach For Your Lives"...
