- Yeah what can I say? I bought this album donkeys. Underground , you will not find this on I tunes.
- cool stuff! one of the best techno albums of all times. as said below, more for the mind than for the dancefloor. but if you can play it loud, most of the tracks will make you freak around. timeless milestone. i listen to the four 12inches for 15 years now. the sound as fresh as new. the electro-tracks have some kind of nice retro-style. the uptempo techno tracks are really groovy. vocal samples remind of EON.
two tracks have to be played/started from visible end, they run against normal rotation. nice gimmick. - This is banging "meat & potato" techno. If you like your techno served more refined look elsewhere.
- Hard techno - it is description of this album in the middle of 90s. Best track of this release is Lies and album shows what was the techno thirteen years ago. Also "Elements Of Life" shows techno tracks under which people dance in night clubs in Germany, England, Holland in the middle of 90s. Good album. If we chose ten best techno albums released in 1995, this album nesessarily enter in TOP 10.
Favorites: Anno Domini / Bad Boy / It One Jah / Lies / Mad Dog - This is a rare and recommended CD for the techno/trance collector. The Advent produced some amazing music for this album, maintaining a techno focus whilst mixing in dub and trance elements.
The only weakness of this album is one shared by many techno albums - sparse techno can be repetitive when an album is listened to end-to-end.
Standout tracks for me are 'Spaceism', 'Audio Illusion', 'Heights' and 'City Limits'.
