C'mon where else can you hear a track that has an excerpt from an over century old poem along with an Animal House sample?  Nowhere, that's where.  This duo has been around for a very long time and deserve to be called rocks of the psytrance community.  For me this was their best album and they took full-on in a very dark, industrial direction when it was (some may say still is) wallowing in its own generic swamp of mediocrity.  Thumping beats along with wailing leads make this a fairly eerie listening experience.  Battleship is an absolute monster.  They take a break from the haunting full-on with Funkenstein which is more of a techno, big beat track.  Not great, but I like to see artists stretch themselves on occasion.  There is even an Etnica remix!  Everybody loves Etnica remixes, right?

 

Well, maybe not this one.  It's kinda boring. 

 

But overall this is a good full-on album that rises above the swamp.
