What people say : (About "French Theory - Lost On The Way To Destelbergen") For some, the essence of new beat was the gloomy atmosphere, the slowly ever |No hitting repetitive beats, all crawling further at lo RPM, resulting in a trancey ambience far away from the poppy scene. This šLost On The Way To Destelbergen› (Destelbergen was the home town of legendary and long gone club Boccaccio) continues on that path and is one hell of a dark soundscape hitting firmly while hovering on slightly dramatic strings. Was it 1988 or 2008? Timeless track!" - Jean-Marc Dekesel, March 20th, 2008 (About "French Theory - Volume One") Fantastic release. Although it was released in march 2006, this is a real |No oldskool record. It sounds like the Hardbeat records from 1989 on Complete Kaos. Even the sleeve has that oldskool look. The first track "2006=1989" refers to Edwards and Armani's Acid Drill with a strong military shout in the intro. The second one "2006=1988" is a very dark new-beat track with some heavy basses. "Acid Reprise" is just brilliant! It's a pitty that it's so short. Please French Theory, make some long version of this! » - Buchla - May 12th, 2008 Who is who : Number Nine Number Nine Multimedia Lab. (a.k.a. N9) is an independent multimedia label based in France.
