Mixerr Album Reviews #2,535

Adam X ‎– Welcome To The Sonic Groove (SG 01) uses some of the darkest acid techno sounds known to mankind. This is old school techno music from a time when techno was fresh. This is underground extremist hardcore techno many old school techno lovers will definitely enjoy and savor. This album was released on cassette only in the NYC area in 1995 in limited numbers. So yes this album is a limited edition album. This banger of a tape from Adam X is one of the legendary Sonic Groove/Eastbound Underground series. Many Adam X fans call this album a “this brutal epic underground extremist hardcore techno mix”.

Riccardo Rochhi - Acid Pill is an example of early acid techno with those 909 beats, handclaps, warpy electronic synths. The song is addicting and annoying at the same token. So chill and take an acid pill.  The buildups for this song begin at 2:29 and 3:48. Now this song is much deeper than you usual deep techno song or any other acid techno song.

Mike Dearborn sweeps the dance floor with his song called Sweep The Floor next after Acid Pill. It’s a mixture of electronic dance and acid techno on one composition. Now this song is much deeper than you usual deep techno song or any other acid techno song. A handful of 303 beats and 909 synths are used throughout this song. Not to mention 909 beats.

Freddie Fresh & Tim Taylor - Scissorhands Missile 10 comes ripping in on a centered crossfade from one beat to another. Then Adam pulls off an amazingly skillful crossfade with 4 beats. Thick breakdown start come in afterwards. The depths of these sounds are astounding and amazing.

Supreme Truth - The Supreme Truth (Blood Mix) uses some heavy pounding bass which will rattle and rumble your speakers. A handful of classy techno beats are used. This song was recorded when  Hessen was at his best which is why this is such a brutal techno song. This song is a techno classic today. This is hard as all industrial techno. In fact this is hard as all industrial techno should be. And it went fully industrial while industrial was at its experimental phase.

I rate this album 5/5*****!
