"j saul kane aka depth charge, octagon man etc turns to the compilation field with this selection of 'electro' tracks. i've highlighted the word electro because i'm sure that for some people a lot of tracks on the album don't come under their definition of 'electro.' Well that's a shame because his eclectic, cut + paste mix of tracks, with overdubs and samples has a great range, both in age and style. From the original 'tainted love' 12 inch, to a version of scorn's drum + bass track 'the end' played at 33rpm, its a fine slab of hard edged electronica. I especially love the "little computer people project" track.Along with the other cd's in the electro boogie series it provides a great survey of a music form that is often interpreted as being very limited in its scope."
Missing link influence between Depth Charge and Octagon Man?

"This album surprised me because it wasn't the kung-fu/porn/soccer/B-movie cutups that I expect and love from Nine Deadly Venoms and Lust 1&2, but it was a clever and easily listenable "electro" mix that really proves J. Saul Kane's musical diversity. The re-remix of Scorn's The End (PCM mix) was not what I expected and it was even better than the remix! This CD is a bit of an Anthony Rother homage as well!"
An excellent excursion into sound.

"Evil Knevil is a flat-out amazing tune. And Free-er Than Free is Kane at his best. Sandwiched between these masterpieces are a creamy center of gooey goodness. Get it now before it becomes too hard to find."
