Headroom - Life To Dead Noise download free

Don't know if it would make any sense to call it the best, but most certainly my favorite Headroom release. Although only two tracks occupy the entire record, it is the quality that fascinates.By the release date of this record, its respective makers have mastered the use of their machines, and had already built a soild reputation for delivering incinerating dance floor artillery. They would be parting ways not long after this hit the shelves, but what a way to go!The A side tune is a proper techno workout. A funky, hydraulic stomper on the harder tribal percussive tip that goes the extra mile by effectively using a vocal snippet as the focal loop. The percussion gradually builds around it, however, your entire focus is on the vocal bits. It's only after the powerful break down, when the "off the ground" sample announces a mental delirium that you realize where your feet are: off the ground.I have witnessed this one cause plenty damage all across the continent in its prime. I remember how it always stood out because up until that point, even if you were off the ground, you became more (or fully) aware of it once an official notification came from the towering speaker system. Off the ground. Slam the bass back in. Release the drums. Lose it.Flip it over and "Spoon" awaits. A slightly misleading track, starting out as a pretty conventional uplifitng Swedish techno piece from the era, but then the via a slew of reverbed passages, manic breaks and echoes, goes left seconds before the four minute mark, only to slam itself back into the mix at the 04:15 marker, with insanely filtered spheres, emphasized outbursts of sirens coated in rust and all sorts of euphoric delicacies to serve the dance floor a moment of controllable mayhem. Listen to this, and imagine that you were right there, in the middle of the room, when this entire segment dropped. Damn. Wild times.Comes very highly recommended, and is always on the menu when (attempting at) recreating a 2002-2005 peak time vibe.
