Paul Mac - The Master FLAC

Paul Mac's The Master is one best underground techno tracks I ever heard. Totally top class killer 6am track! AWESOME!!

The original absolutely dominates this release. Paul Mac's The Master is a nasty, off beat work out, with densely layered percussion and industrial sound edits to complement it. There's an eerie sample going something like "You will listen to me... You will obey me..." during two breaks, each time followed by a leaking water mane of super powerful drums and plenty wicked layers atop to prevent the track from sounding generic. Awesome stuff, recommended to all fans of stuff like Surgeon's "Screw The Roses", some material on Mulero's Warm Up, Loktibrada, Rumenige, etc.

The Hertz remix, while not bad per se, is obsolete if and when played after the original. I'm sure it may have caused a buzz back in the day, but putting this vinyl on recently made me realize how there is a Hertz remix on approximately 80% of my purchases from 2004 and 2005. Worst of all is that they all sound the same, with a few exceptions.

The Baffa remix is more energetic than the previous remix, although it never really amounts to anything more than a pretty competent, driving tribal slammer. The break's effective though, as quite a few distress signal effects are tossed in the mix, adding up to the increasing tension before the final climax. A good dance floor shaker, but there's stuff in the same vein done much better.
Overall, worth getting if only for the original, which is as rusty and mental as they come from under Paul Mac's hammer.
