How talented are these two guys? Everything they did was nothing less than awesome. Every single track.

Highest quality label that has its eyes on the future rather than the past; and eschews the neotrance, commercial 'euphoria' that certain other labels are stinking up the scene with at the moment.

'Junior Space Cadet' is eight glorious minutes of lunatic aciiiiiiiiiid and sparse percussion that pitches you into that same euphoric trance state where the early acid took us. Total gay abandon.

Future FJP: The Thunderdome, Miles Platting; Hacienda, Whitworth Street West; Konspiracy, Fennel Street. I also believe there was something on the A side as well.

'Music' deserves the accolades it gets, but, for me, 'Quest' entirely eclipses it; and, if you need to know the reason: it's those bleeps and that solid techno vibe that are the entirety of its construction.

The original's proper house music, and cannot be remixed in my opinion. Nevertheless, Random XS do a great attempt—producing a tough, driving, techno banger that makes you want to leap around with a big, lunatic grin stuck to your face.

'Scorpion Pills' = the best tune of 2021 so far. Absolutely bursting with the sort of superfunk that's a characteristic of Wavescape 22, this is a real arse moving, head...

Bought this on repress, primarily for 'Alienist'—which is a real riff beast—but also for the title track; as they're both dark, peak time killers that'll keep any dancefloor sweaty and full.

Dancing to this is why God gave me legs. An absolute perfect storm of darkness and funk.

Two of the finest talents around produce one of the finest releases around; 'Edge 2' being especially good, as there's so much going on throughout, with its bloops (not bleeps) and percussion.

Spectacular sägezahn from Thomas Heckmann again; with deliberate skippy bits and jangly bleeps. The rest is more industrial, dark and also excellent. Dig deep and purchase.

B2 is sick, dark and sinister machine funk that's trance inducing. Long overdue for an appearance on Telekom Electronic Beats' B-Sides feature.

I wish that I could believe that this was released in 1991: as it'd have stood out like a fifteen inch cock amongst all the Belgian 'nosebleed' of the time; bringing with it a nice touch of subtly. However, as with WGYSS and Iron_Shirt, I...

Superb 'forward thinking' techno from Spain; comprising of trippy, rough squelches and some nicely subtle percussion. To quote Jockey Slut from way back: the future has a pulse.

'Mentasm' driven madness on both sides. I love techno like this: all frequency changes that take you on a foot shuffling journey. Some people might call this monotonous—I say: 'fuck you'.

808 State show, Sunset 102, 18th February 1992: Darren Partington calls 'Syntex' a "tune and a half", and one 'that takes you back to 1988/89'. His way of making clear what we all know: that...

Most Excellent four tracker from Eastern Bloc's own. The finest European influences meet Chicago acid and get beaten and thumped into exciting new shapes. True value for money.

The Bass and Dub mixes are the two to check here. Excellent borrowing of the iconic riffs of Testone and [url=https://www.discogs.com/Fast-Eddie-Acid-Thunder/release/2752]Acid...

'Ain't It Funky' is one of Fast Eddie's finest tunes; up there with the likes of Acid Thunder—even if not quite surpassing it. Flap those arms and...

Ditto. But I've never been able to understand what he says after "at the jungle".

Say Again: one of the best tracks ever produced. Anywhere. Bleepy and robotic like a dancing mainframe.

'Infinity' is a pounding piece of 303 madness that seems to be exclusive to this release; with its psychedelic acid and trippy percussion combining to dance on the endorphins. The live version of 'Spectral Emotions' is an interesting variant on its...

The A side is my own personal favourite Justin Berkovi tune of all time. Superbly funky and freaky, it's a huge pleasure to dance to; and you will dance—even if you're dead.

A deceptively laid back sägezahn track, that's both relaxing and energetic—a sort of languid riot—making it useful both at peak and towards the end of the night. I love those frequency changes.

The chilled bleeps of 'Pluto's Demise' are my own personal highlight of this release. Its nice, relaxing, retro vibe drags a pleasant sensation up the spine.

The 'House Mix' is the perfect combination of acid and piano to have the dancefloor bouncing. Whilst the 'New York Hardcore Mix' is chunky synths and police siren; all of which will have the same effect. Teutonic excellence again.

The Sandbenders track at 33 rpm becomes a haunting, melancholic, mournful trip; one that sounds so good, I want it to be the music for my funeral. The best strings this side of Adagio.

That's a fair question, as the only evidence I can offer is the link to the mix. That's circular I know, but I'm trusting enough to take the word of whoever compiled the mix; especially as I'd have expected someone to challenge the inaccuracy by now...

All four tracks on this release are excellent, but I'm so in love with 'Antarctica' that I completely ignore the other three. Deep, sensitive and danceable is the most concise description. Check out the mini crescendo near the end; and if you ever...

Music For Films is a druggy, smokey basement jam. DJ Hell's finest moment. Agree with those sentiments one hundred per cent: it's an absolute epitome of deep, eerie and paranoid. Hell means bright in German—this is its... See full review |

The track is Ess & Dee - A.C.I.D. Washed. The Vimeo link should cue straight to it.

Number nine hasn't been entered into the database yet, but can be heard here: https://vimeo.com/radiosoulwax/jackinthebox#t=2908s

Absolutely correct. 808 State span this on their Sunset 102 show in July 1990, not long after its recording. They spoke all over it, of course, to avoid people taping it instead of buying. 😁

Hooks fly in all directions on this gem of a title track. A joy to dance to—and a great riff on that Heckmann signature sound.

If it was the Unit 7 party on the 4th February, then here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbBQA4KwSs4
Though I'm not sure if you mean the Nelson party on the 24th. |

I rinsed 'Third Sphere' upon buying this; it being an acid journey par excellence. Your feet will follow the mind's course being traced by the 303 squelch and trippy moog drifting like mist. The denouement of 'Strange Insight' and the downtempo...

A more deeply contrasting 12 is hard to find. Hitman & Her bollox on the A side, that makes me wanna puke; one of the finest British—or anywhere for that matter—acid house tunes on the B, that's a credit to the scene—and is perfect for a dark,...

Never mind the handbags: here's 'Malfunction'. Coming from that era of British techno characterised by thick, chunky synths—an era that was brief, dated quickly, but was bloody exhilarating—this track is the only good reason to buy this twelve: unless...

This is worth getting just for the incredible 'Mimas', which was previously only available on vinyl here. Jeff Mills' finest moment for me: as it's...

Chunky sägezahn techno with filter effects that sounds incredible on a big system. Spotless production as always; you should be hearing this everywhere that's worth its salt. Geil.

No need for a RECAP of what's been already said about this all time anthem, but, if you're DJing an old school night and want to send the old folks home with a grin across their faces, then make the last tune of the night this one.

Scorching hot sägezahn track from Herr Heckmann; with a 'drill' bassline and a Parrot Torture synth squawking away, determined to be heard. I'd love to have this on...

Sorry to hear that, as this is one of the best acid records of all time. Super funky; super squelchy; super fun.

Many thanks for the information. I'll re-edit my original comment to reflect this.

Here's one to tickle your g-spot. Four top quality productions from top quality names. Thomas Heckmann provides a gritty, grinding track which is a further evolution of his sound: this is sägezahn revised—sägezahn plus. WarinD & Huren's contribution...

What a brutal release this is. 'Bonkers' is appropriately named: mad acid, but not any of the pallid imitations of Chicago's past that you may be familiar with: rather, a fluttering, squishy, gurn inducing stomper. 'Breaking Bones' is like a high...

The punk sample at the beginning of 'Bubble One' was added without Mr. Heckmann's knowledge or permission. The Bandcamp version (where I got this info from) has this omitted.
