Hello! Just wondering about this disc. How does it compare to the brilliant fsol records from "tales" onward? I had heard a compilation of their material under various pseudonyms circa 1991-1992, and found this early music to be rather generic techno. Where in the (emitecaps) continuum does accelerator fall? Thank you, Zenon M. Feszczak Irrational Programmer

Accelerator is unique, because it has a mix of all the FSOL-isms on it, "generic techno" as you term it, ambient whooshes, vocal touches("it's not my problem", "expander"(the best on the album), and "central industrial"--'welcome to central industrial, we are the future...'(the second best on the album), and some pretty damn disturbing stuff, 'calcium' to name one. Get it! Get IT! GET IT!!!!!! Derek I take it you were referring to the EARTHBEAT COMPILATION...I'm still pounding out those tracks from a taped dub of the CD(Thanks Bella, wherever you are, kisses...)
