Review: Industrial Terror Squad – Da Basdardz Are Back (Industrial Strength Records – IS043)



I never understood why this record did not get quite big...
Should have topped everyone's DJ charts, really.
Production is spiffy and well, and I don't mean mere "sound quality".
It's full of little ideas and cuts, there is structure and build-up to the tracks... it's not just some looped noise on a drum, if ya catch my drift.

There are 8 tracks on 4 sides of the 2 vinyls... and each "side" has a theme, which I think is a nice touch, makes it almost like a conceptual album.
We got the "gangsta, war, death, terror" sides, and like these titles suggest, each one is harder and more underground than the one before.
So it starts with oldschool gabber (of the speedy kind) and ends in early speedcore.

A fanzine once remarked that the "gabber" sides are the better one, as a terror teen I was mostly into the speedcore stuff, but nowadaysI think that each side has its qualities.
