    The planets aligned in 1985. Riding on the back of a synth wave explosion and once described as ABBA on steroids, German industrial engineering coupled with the ZTT label who had learnt a thing or two about multiple remix releases from FGTH. This is a perfect slab of electronica, driving beats and bass, laced with catchy melodies, noise and Brucken. Two ten minutes tracks that keep your attention throughout, perfectly produced and pressed.
