For what this release is worth in my book, it literary all boils down to the stabbing of Land Of Free. Chugging along at some palatable 128bpm, what gives it the opaque, gritty feel, is the ominous acid loop and those piercing, encircling synth note stabs used as the main hook line. An unadulterated, tunneling trip into the techno abyss. With the equally mesmerizing and tyrannical beats, this will either hammer your frame hard on the middle of the floor or will turn into your favorite soundtrack to the white paint peeling off your bedroom walls.
Close on its heels we have Street Walkers. Typical punchy club shaking goodie Developer delivered more times than you could be bothered to count. Not much to write about. Stubborn loop. Crunchy beats. Heavy bass load. Large scale body convulsion on the podium. Not much home replay value, but then again this wasn't imagined for those situations anyways. Regardless, let's just say this is one if his neither stellar let alone filler tracks. Lands right around there somewhere along with the remainder of them. Keeping im mind that this is, after all, a piece that servies a purpose within a larger musical context rather than raising eyebrows on its own, you have to hand it to the maker for the effort that went into the production. Massive, molasses dense like rhythm and armor plated beats. Can (and will) do plenty damage.

Unfortunately, the entire B side leaves me wanting more, a lot more too. Lexicon Map sees the producer pull yet another one of those creepy bangers with out of sync, discordant organ keys that he's already used on two recent relases: "Failsafe 03" and "The mercurian particle". That's basically three consecutive records with the same annoying structural fault. While this stuff was perfected by the likes of Surgeon and Umek in the mid to late nineties, they're just overused, grating beyond the point of anyone's gratitude, and worst of all, not tweaked around enough to really warrant one's interst. I mean, he keeps these going for seven minutes, no break in sight. Yikes. Moving In Code is your typical looped tool 'do not keep me under the needle for too long as the crowd is dying for a new song'. Trasnitory track, and not even the best one out of his extensive catalog.
Final verdict, or better yet, my humble verdict: The A side has two tunes you simply cannot go wrong with during any self respecting techno party. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about its B side counterparts. For me, the purchase is validated by A2, which is a prisitne example of hard, focused techno.
