Guest Ikurtev Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 Three Point Turn - Explicit Artist: Three Point Turn Title: Explicit Label: Hadshot Date: 2002 Track listing: 01. Make No Mistake 02. Welcome To The Deep End 03. Committed 04. Around Zero 05. Thriller 06. On The Edge 07. In And Out 08. Pere Lachaise 09. Train Wreck 10. Green And Blue Review: This album is the first of series of tech-trance releases coming up this Fall, with albums by Midi Miliz and X-Dream expected before New Year's. So if you like tech-trance, you have a lot of reasons to be excited. "Explicit" features Three Point Turn/Authentik's characteristic sound with coarse effects and monotonous beats with frequent breaks that make your heart stop with the beat. This is powerful stuff and if you do not like to be shaken AND stirred, please stay away. Actually, I felt that this album was a little "softer" and more diverse that Preamplified, indicating, in my humble opinion, a definite step in the artistic development of Three Point Turn. My personal favorites from this album are Commited and On The Edge. To Three Point Turn, I can only say a big, big "Thank You"! 9/10.

freak51 Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Well-constructed straight-business noisy psy-techno, a bit rounder around the edges than their earlier stuff - still, their fans need not fear; it's nowhere near Atmos or anything. Contrast their first two, this disc finally starts to lean a bit more towards "A NOISE" than "ANNOYS". This is definitely their most professional work so far, with the possible exception of a few tracks on (Authentik's) Preamplified. Be warned, some of the sounds in Thriller are on the experimental side, and Green and Blue is kind of messy. However, this release is worth owning. 8/10.

Guest Mescalinium Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 A solid outing from the Parisian boys. Perhaps not quite up to what I was expecting, but still a worthwhile effort. "Around Zero" is the only real standout according to my ears, but others show bits of progression, especially "make no mistake" and "on the edge". To the dj's out there, I'd recommend the remixes 12" with the delta rmx of thriller, or the recent authentik 12" on boshke beats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak51 Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 I keep coming back to this release, it gets better and better. Green and Blue has grown on me - sounds like Amon Tobin vs. Ed Rush/Optical, but it really really works. It scratches that itch like few others can, time after time. Cruising at 9/10.

freak51 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Three Point Turn : Explicit (Hadshot) 1 - Make No Mistake 2 - Welcome To The Deep End 3 - Committed 4 - Around Zero 5 - Thriller 6 - On The Edge 7 - In And Out 8 - Pere Lachaise 9 - Train Wreck 10- Green And Blue Years later, this disc still stands out, track by track or as one long kickass Mission. If I kept notes of how often I listened to this or that release, this would be by far and away the most-played-in-2005 release from 2002. It is supreme for drowning out crosstalk and for getting the job done, whatever it may be. This is probably what bike couriers should have going through their heads, all the time.
