    Even today Surface Noise sounds like some seriously unearthly shit - when I bought it 28 years ago, back in the mid 90s, it blew my mind! Outstanding.

    I rinsed Funk Electric to death too, it's still so fresh in my memory. It's a more energetic, peak time track than Surface Noise with the main ingredient being the filtered / effected analogue, modular synth line that twists and snarls its way through the track. Absolute banger!

      I first heard this on a mixtape a friend made for me in 96, in the last breakdown on Gruve it skips back and keeps skipping on the mixtape, I recently found out the track ID and bought myself a copy, it's in great condition but features the same skipping part, so I think its a fault in the manufacture, anyone else has this issue?

          I witnessed a Planetary Assault Systems live act in Belgrade on November 11th 2017. It was the first time after a long while that I'd see Luke Slater play live. Needless to say, he slaughtered the venue.
          But, my God, hearing Surface Noise, after I only wish I could remember how long, through a towering stack of Funktion-Ones, made me realize, yet again, the monstrous proportions of his production might.
          This tune, has not only withstood the tooth of time, it surpassed it. The simplicity of the swing makes its funk eternal. The bass line is luminous. The lead synth is almost like a distant dentist drill. Irritating, but in that good, old fashioned, make you crawl all over the wall way. Persistent, buzzing and down-low-dirty mischievous. It literary made the place blow up. The crowd went nuts. Even kids who were not even born when this first hit the shelves.

          Luke Slater is one of the best that ever did it. This, along with two dozen tons of tracks he's made, is a perfect example of why.
          Evergreen techno goodness. This a highly indispensable record, but that goes for the vast majority of P.A.S. output.
          Once I got back to my home city, I proudly took the record out, placed it under the needle, and let it rip. Windows open. Froze my bones off. Did not matter. My neighbors had to hear it as well. My civil duty was done. Right there.

            "Gruve" is very similar to "Overseyah" by The Advent which was released a little earlier.

                my personal favorite is the (almost too short) FUNK ELECTRIC
                hypnotizing syncopated ostinato!

                    Mind-blowing, subtlety reigns supreme. Among his best.
