This is it, this is THE tape that indoctrinated me into hXc-techno. It was a few years after it's release, as I was 24 at the time and doing what I still do: gettin' high with homies. One of them threw on a dubbed copy made by a friendly coworker, and I was blown away. That simple. Dark, distorted, repetitive to the point of insanity, and ceaselessly (obsessively) fast, it was a brutal and deeply refreshing sound that matched any punk, metal, grind, or industrial band's own extremity...and it instantly fascinated me!R.A.W.'s side remains the most intense (coincidentally it was his side we listened to first, officializing Disciples Of Annihilation's opening track as my "first contact" with this scene), but Hypnotic 23's mad skillz aren't afraid of multiple Nasenbluten segues either. My lame n' mundane nostalgia trips aside, the tape holds up incredibly well, not only in track choice and turntable gymnastics, but as one of the clearest snapshots into what O.G. rave culture was really all about: NOISE WORSHIP!!!
