What a fuckin compilation this is. Mostly taken from Planetary Funks 1-4 with some different bits, this sees Luke Slater in punishing form over 9 amazing tracks.
I'm not in the habit of posting whole albums but this seems to be out of print and is basically a compilation of stuff I would have uploaded anyway. The track titles are slightly different form the original 12" releases.
Back in 1995, this was never off my turntables - Luke in this guise could do no wrong in my book. This has great UK techno, Detroit-esque techno and some German sounding stuff in there to boot. My pick o'the bunch (if I was forced to pick a couple at knifepoint) would be Gated and Booster - tip top techno tunes.
He released an album this year as well, but I've not got it. Will go check it out after hearing this again...

Spot on. Gated and especially Booster still sound awesome. I was going through my records recently having a sort and played this... The detroity style whap whaps on Booster still get the old spider senses tingling. Good choice Sir.
always loved booster....but never knew that those sounds I so liked were called "whap whaps"
thanks Mog, thanks Mark
A favourite of mine, too.
My pick is definitely In From the Night....
...but where do people stand on the clear similarity between that track and Jeff Mills' Step to Enchantment (off Axis04)?
