Four dark and menacing tracks with the metallic and heavy machine sound found in other Kurbel releases from '96 ... the outer cuts with booming and driving bass ... Silversaug is a wicked energiser with it's sharp bleeps and tones ... the inner cuts have a more intergalactic feel about them ... a good solid 4-tracker. Love the presentation too ... plain black heavyweight sleeves with just black white and one colour used on the labels, understated but identifiable with interesting art ... everything about them says quality to those in the know ...
This is a solid 4 tracker, make no mistake! Nothing weak about this release whatsoever ... one of my favourite Slater 12's along with The Astral Adventures Of RK1 ... wicked UK techno from the good ol' days ... get ya chugg on with tracks like Gated ... just the sought of sounds you would hear booming up the stairway as you made your way thru a certain small cloths shop on Monmouth St. and down into the cosy confines of Fat Cat on a Saturday afternoon ... I would spend an hour or two here picking up all sorts from Disintegrator tracks on Industrial Strength to Edge Of Motion on Djax and Maurizio on M amongst hundreds more ... but I digress ...

Twilight is a nice twittery track that oozes warmth and is somewhat comforting after the dose served by the the previous 3 cuts. Listening to Cutting Roland is a bit like driving thru fog ... the sounds get thicker and you begin to loose yourself as things get more distorted ... I would defo wanna be pumping smoke into the place as I played this track :D In From The Night is the bad boy stomper here ... sitting very nicely alongside the dark UR tracks of the time with sounds that pierce the night like the beam from a lighthouse in a storm ...
Mr.Dynomite! ... anyone true hardhead, young or old(er :) can't fail to love this track ... the energy in it is awesomely immediate and relentless but so where a thousand other tracks in '91 you may say ... true, but the quality of production puts this release up there with the best of them ... it's jam packed with sounds and samples and the raw energy so typical of the best hardcore and techno around back then just rips from every groove ... thinking about mixing it out before the end is like trying not to chew a Fruit Pastile! Like the best records in your collection, Mr.Dynomite still gets the adrenalin flowing as much now as he did 18 years ago ... the other tracks won't disappoint either, this is a solid 5tracker, make no mistake ... hope someone brought the laser ...
Oh My Gosh ... where to begin with this monster monster track ... got to be in my top ten of fave UK hardcore tracks from '91 ... as raw and 'avin' it as the best of them but with the beautifully haunting vocals of Sharon Williams and the mad manic Killer Man Archer tearin' up the mic, this track, despite sooo many first class releases that year, still manages to stand out. Has a great sleeve too ... stands out in the rack as well as on the deck :)
Absolutely stunning EP and one that no oldeskool techno lover should be without.

I first discovered the aural delights of Jammin' Unit & Walker back in 1992 when I bought the Egglayer EP on Force Inc. and i've been hooked on their sounds ever since. I didn't discover this beauty until years later but it didn't matter, I was just glad i'd found it ... or did it find me :)

This record flows beautifully from start to finish, six magical tracks that take you to another place ... a place where nothing matters, time is suspended, you could be floating in outer space or deep below the sea ... this is not a mind trip, this is a body journey!

To look at the record, there is a definate nautical theme with the lovely deep aqua coloured vinyl and labels complete with sea anemones ... listen and you quickly become drawn into an ethereal world as the female voice gently whispers in your ear ... what will become of us, who has control ... hard to pick a favourite but Liquid Men With Liquid Hearts gives me the goosies everytime I pause for a second and look around ...
What a fantastic track, one that exudes warmth and bites like a cold wind at the same time sending shivers down your spine ... it will envelop you in a fuzzy thick blanket of sound and move you like a tree being pulled by the wind and lashed by the rain on a baron landscape ... it is always dark, it pounds and rattles, swirling, surging, vibrating all around you, seemingly relentless and yet you never want it to end.

As awesome 15 years on as it was when released in 1993, this is a passage to technos forever molten core ... it will burn bright into the night forever
