Classic !

Twisted dark ambient and drum&bass from 90s

 

Thanks for the heads up, i just ordered 2 copies instantly ! I remember og pressing costs a bunch on discogs.

Yeah, this was my jam back in the day. DHR and Alec Empire's "The Destroyer" lead me to this release.

This album is great. I have loved DHR for years (Patric Catani is ♡) but I didnt know about this album until 0PN linked to it on the Kaoss Edge site. The fucking ambient pieces are amazing, absolutely top notch. And nostep and water are brutal.

 

BTW: if you like the hardcore/jungle tracks on this, Nasenbluten and Xylocaine are really similar... Bloody fist is the Aussie DHR.

This one is special to me, really singular release and also literally the only DHR or Christoph De Babalon release I own physically. First heard My Confession on a mixtape from an acquaintance and knew I had to have this; it didn't disappoint.

 

It is like a drum and bass counterpart to the techno of 154's Strike. Both albums for the ages.

He's got a lot of great stuff, but this is his best release.
