Subtitled ‘North Wales Underground Techno’, this hook-up between the Kick The Drum and More Punk Than Funk labels is a bold declaration of intent from a bunch of free party nutters operating outside of the Stay Up Forever axis. The nine tracks by Ziod, A.P., Distek and J. Smart are primitive, energized and built for speed (and anything else you care to mention!). Rougher, leaner and more metallic KO in approach to the mighty S.U.F., this album kicks some serious techno ass and could be summed up by the title of Distek’s brain-scraping closer -‘Time For The Crank’.
