Lost Sector – Midnight Journey EP

second track on the tank side is a belter. some sounds just spinning out, strong stuff.

I don't know if the other releases on this label hold the quality one can find here, but if they do, then here is another overlooked acid and electro label from the mid 90s.

Midnight starts us off with a bold four to the floor kick clocking in at about 133 bpm and nervous acid that is introduced only a few seconds later. It's all there to keep the ball rolling, 909 beats, claps and hats and filter chirps that could have been born in Brighton, while it never overdoes it.
The Journey is on an electro tip, again very nervous and engaging with some weird zaps thrown over the top for good measure. While the acid line is the leitmotif in here again, it never totally explodes. Instead, a trippy sequence encounters it making this a strange, alienesque experience.
The flip side resembles first track though faster with a Hardfloor like beat. Claps, open 909 hats, you get the point. This was 1995 after all. Speaking of acid, there isn't any in in this track. Just the raw beat with some strange effects in it, but I like the pure effectiveness here.
Acid Monday may be the best track of the four extraordinarily good cuts. The acid is unwinding slowly and bubbling until the electro beat kicks in and the head starts to nod. Plastikman anyone?

Speaking of Plastikman I actually doubt that this is made using the original TB 303, but then, I don't really care.
This is the kind of acid usually found on earlier Bunker records, although not as raw and less fucked up. But it has a fish that is a tank on its label.
