And we are gonna take a scrutinizing look at "One Night In NYC".
This is a definitive 11/10 release, every one of the six tracks on this EP is a legit banger, epic, titanic.
There is the title track, One night in NYC, and of course we all know that one.
There is Mission Extacy... was already super popular in its day.
Completely novel concept, and I never heard something quite like it again.
It's a narration of two raver kids on the road to oblivion in the cultural underworld of New York...
And under the narrative, there is a brilliant, minimal, somber Techno track. And it's hard to say if the speech serves to enhance the track, or whether it's the other way round, and the beats only exist to give credibility to the narrative.
Up comes "The Real World". A very grim, nihilist, but also ultimate liberating in its darkness monologue.
I never figured out whether the speech samples were taking from a televangelist, noam chomsky, or a drunken patron.
And the B side delivers is to "Flesh is the fever". The apocalyptic anthem for the doomed gabber generation.
And those of us that have (partly) survived... can still listen to these wonderful and feverish tunes.
