Reviews & Discussion:

Validity Revision is an absolutely cracking track. Starts very slow and smooth with trippy stings and a sort of Adam Freeland breakbeat. However it slowly morphs into a quality build up to a cracking tech-house bassline. Ends up chuntering along as a tasty Carl Coxesque techno tune.

Resistance is also well produced with solid compressed bass and sort of cartoony undertones not disimilar to Daft Punk's Discovery album vibe.

Not bad for a free promo that I got with a Soma Compilation album. Two top tracks which came as a nice surprise. The promo worked. I will definately seek out some more Hystereo.
James Lavelle - FabricLive. 01 Feb 08, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
an absolute belter of a mix cd, one of the best you can lay your hands on for me. Lavelle blends the tunes together like a true master, from ambient, trip hop to hip hop, through house to some down right dirty tech house, and as the dude above me mentioned a cracking finisher. this little ditty has something to offer to the whole family! Buy this before you buy any other cd
superb double disc. you got the original tribal/tech house monster from leftism - with a chilled out KD Sessions style remix and two good drum and bass remixes. value for money!
good solid record. A side is typical picotto techno with a sprinkle of tech trance, both b side tracks are more mellow but well put together. b side could kick off the night - a side will just kick off big time
code - has one of the sweetest funky bass lines i have come across, it's slow sort on the border of tech house, but fucking excellent
the original is a sweet chilled techno tune, not bad at all.
BUT the Dave Clarke remix, for me, is one of the all time top techno tunes. I knew it from world service and loved it, then when it was dropped at the arches on Dec 28 2002 the second or third last tune in Slam's headline set (after the big man himself had severely rattled the walls)was maybe the top five of my clubbing career.
it is now safe to say i own it on and play it, the only problem is trying not to play it too much..
Plastikman - Musik Oct 15, 2003
this was not what i had expected. i was really looking for filthy techno, and my heart sunk when i read on the label 'just because you love chocolate cake, you don't eat it every day'. but by the time i has listened to it right through i had come around to the slow chilled percussive charms, and now really like listening to it at the end of the night when the hours for filthy techno have long since past....
Guy McAffer - RAW R01 Oct 14, 2003
one of these (the side with the RAW label) is an absolutely banging tech monster. it has a huge build up in the middle which has left a good few dancefloors of mine whooping and whistling until it drops a welching bass line - superb
superb techno label. i own a couple and they are both relentless pounding techno. don't think i can see my favourite up there though. the Raw 09 remixes has one mediocre and one absolutely filthy banging magic track - top of my box
silicone soul have put down an excellent dark dubby track, haven't heard the original don't really like D'voids take but the silicone mix is one of my top tunes
