This will make you make you want to dance on the ceiling, the floor just don't do it justice. Fantastic musicianship and crazy grooves....techno will never be this good.

This is one of the best albums ever. It has so much emotion and is totally heavy at times. I got to see them 3 times in the early ninties and haven't heard a word about them since. They are sorely missed, but we have a legendary album to enjoy.

Fatala is a band best-known for it's thunderous drumming, but the 14 year-old female singer steals the show. Never have I heard a more powerful singing performance as on the track called Boke. It is to be heard to be believed.

Why has there never been another release from this band? It's a shame and a sin. Come back, Fatala.
