Newbuild has great historical significance, I'll concede, I mean, - Gerald Simpson was a prominent member of the band - how many other acid house ALBUMS were there at the end of 1988? - how much acid house music at that time was so very Acid and so barely House? However, on its own musical merit, I think it's a bit overrated. "Flow Coma" and "Narcossa" are exceptional, but the other 5 cuts are not nearly as thrilling, and taken as a whole, the album doesn't belong in any trophy cases. Just my humble opinion.
