Picked this up from my local music store Epe's - the track listing seemed
very appealing, especially for someone living here in Tampere, where acid
jazz and t**p h*p have taken over like a storm during the last six months.
One only gets fed up with that quite soon, and you just want to give a good
kick to the trendies' asses in their wannabe-white-B-boy XXXL pants after
a while >:(
For starters we get Carl Craig/Paperclip People's good old 'Throw' in its
'Remake Uno' version, with Manuel Gottsching's 'Sueno Latino' thrown in
for a good measure. Then, without warning Richie Hawtin rushes in wearing
his Plastikman guise, and we get hostages under siege sounds from 'Sheet
One'. Former Tonka Sound System stalwart Choci's 303 time machine takes us
to the ancient Rome - Emporar's 'Caligula' rules supreme, with the whips
cracking on poor slaves' backs. 'Odyssey' by Percy X of Scotland's joy
and pride Soma funks the house up.
The time is ripe for Mr. Luke Slater and his Planetary Assault Systems,
assisted by Alan Sage. I, for one, shed bitter tears after having missed
their 'Booster' on Peacefrog Records. Here it is now anyway, serving the
cyberdelikatessen chilled, in the good intergalactic funk mode and
percussions galore. Alas, The Young Braves cut it short with their trancer
'Time & Space' with clanking rhythms, ultra-tense keyboard twiddling and
the flutes straight from the Andes. David Christophe and Steve McLure aka
Florida's Rabbit In The Moon heavily trance-induce 'East', originally from
Hamburg's Superstition label.
We are in for an acid holocaust, when Tesox of Germany's Plastic City
Records takes the controls with 'Funky Bassline'. Stuttering hi-hat and
nagging 303 turn to a murder in high heels, someone has spiked our drinks!
The lysergic mayhem continues with Simon Wilthshire from Underground Music
project, with his Alien Race. 'You Ain't Sexy', he tries to assure us, but
it's so hard to believe, when the walls start breathing and the acidic
rhythm keeps burning. The pHilanthropic Choci jumps in again as Silvervox,
and as the very title promises, 'Exciter' will get the dicks hard and the
pussies to moist... This is getting seriously X-rated! Erm, and it only
gets worse with Tim Taylor and Pump Panel w/ 'Remover' - someone call the
cops now! Alarm 303030303030303, ten four! They're all crazeee, officer..
But oh no, the one-man exterminator team from Minneapolis, Woody McBride
has arrived. Open fire on the dance floor, no hostages, the survivors (if
there are any) will suffer a serious post acid shock years after, with
serious damage done to their mental healths and recurring flashbacks. Hope
to see ya in the next world, mate!
