Syncopated, slow and bizarre, this one remained a long time my least favorite New beat Track among the string of marvels of Subway & friends. How wrong. In fact, it's its cheer originality that matters. It's a strange object, melodic and acid, and...

Absolute monster of a track: fast for New Beat, with an obsessive raw synth lead, very agressive percussions, a lead sample that sounded like a a rage cry, this really turned dancefloor amok! Pure proto-techno power. Like PLB's "Just like This...

Well, we all know the piano riff does not come stricto sensu from Paradox - Jailbreak, don't we ? Or do we really need to talk about Rhythim Is Rhythim - Strings Of Life, one the most famous ever Detroit Techno track ever ever ever ? And btw, the guys got me back then, as I...

Absolutely, Kamayama. My mistake. Both albums are brilliant and in the same vein, btw, and the live too.

May seem a bit dated, but it's a funny creative record, witty and elegant, in a great sleeve design and photography by top artists of the time (so reminding of THE FACE era with Mondino, Sednaoui, etc.), and of course with a splendid etched side with...

Actually it looks closer to the color grading of the CD original pressing.

All has been said about the music, but let's acknowledge this is one of the most brilliant sleeve design of R&S and maybe of all time. Clever, simple, elegant, and striking on shelves. It's a bit sad that the latest represses failed to keep the type...

Surprisingly fast for a track of the New Beat era, this one indisputably deserves its fame : it is a beautiful uptempo new-wave-ish track, that clearly shows how the Synth-pop lovers came to the House & New Beat party, and contributed to the...

B3 is on the "That Side", so on the one with the painting. "This side" is the one with infos.

Hi V-agent! Yes you are right, it is the same problem everywhere. Presenting licensed releases in the label page is stupid and confusing. Same problem with R&S, Warp etc. I can understand mistakes, and we can hope they get self corrected by oggers....

Note that the last 4 tracks of the vinyl (that is the D Side) are absent from the CD. What a miss as they are all classics Detroit techno trax from Juan Atkins and Derrick May.

One of those releases that left you speechless. First a very strong yet complex A-side, enthusiastic, that showed Belgian Techno-house had such a specific edge to it, being either a mover and sonically ambitious, and then, B-side : boom, you instantly...

Yes you are right Jarren, maybe forgettable is a bit too much as "Pro la patria" is enjoyable, pushy and loud. I just mean that it was less innovative to me. The ambient-techno sound from Belgium was so great and unusual. And those two B-side tracks...

Wonderful track from Joe Bogaert, much more techno-oriented than the usual Technotronic stuff or even his brilliant Act Of Madmen releases. Moody, hypnotic, with synths stabs layered on a rolling baseline, topped with hallucinated samples, this is a...

Absolutely true. Makes it even more dada/funny/bold/daring when they made this LP The KLF - The What Time Is Love Story with all the covers from others artists like Liaisons D., K.L.F.S., Neon etc and claimed ownership in credits. Worth arguing is also that is was IMHO inspired...

Indeed a very surprising and unfairly neglected release from Like A Tim under another name. It easily compete with the Detroit influenced debut of B12 or As One, despite featuring an heavy 909 instead of a 808 or a 707. Only demolition takes it a bit...

While A-side was another (useless ?) cover of Reese's original, "Komobin" was far more original and interesting. Slow and dark synthetic piece, with that semi-nostalgic feel brought by a high pitched synth line, that was so typical of New Beat. Give it a try!

Extremely powerful set here gathering 3 masters of Techno Electro, all getting in a more techno direction. Ian B version are very stompy, and hectic, Baby Ford gives a solid mover (IMHO the highlight here), very much in the vein of his Fetish single,...

A brilliant track, deep in its mood, and futuristic in its atmosphere, sampling dialogues from the Star Trek 3 - Search for Spock movie. Also released as Phase (2) - Liberation Malfunction - LMF Mixes

Yes it is. A slightly rearranged instrumental version of the A side

The Bonesbreak Club and Dub mixes samples the rhythm loop from Force Legato - System
|
|
Just to make it clear because it isn’t with the tracklisting (!!) :
The A version is the regular extended vocal version. The B1 is the remix version ( the one that starts like Juan Atkins remix). The B2 version is a dub edit of B1. And B3 is an... See full review |

Bizarrely my version of this repress sounds good. Maybe there are different runs of this one, with some being faulty.
