Polar opposite of 'Tactical Neural Implant', but an instant classic

Bill Leeb's career in FLA has seen many evolutions in it's sound, but it was this album that concludes the 80's period of industrial/ebm and prepares it for the 1990's. Even with outdated hardware (multilayering Roland TB-303 for an example), this album is the precursor to Leeb's sound that fully develops throughout the 1990's.
Most of this album is indeed electronic (with the exception of the guitars on "Provision"), but it doesn't hold back from sonically blowing away your mind. Every track from front and back carries on the album coherently with no track that sounds alike, from the hard-driven "Resist", to the pounding beats and cynical samples of "The Chair" which is what I feel is the precursor to the next album 'Tactical Neural Implant'
This was my first FLA purchase, and like all great music it takes time to develop an ear and appreciation for what this underground masterpiece really is. This album will always have a place in my heart, along with it's polar opposite 'Tactical Neural Implant'.
If you happen to buy this album, and have a taste for heavy/electronic music, you will not be dissapointed.
