RI: “touch and go”. / 2006 (?) (bootleg)

Original US pressing with blue title on front cover, 2000 made, 2-3 test pressings without sleeve. German pressing (much more common) has green title and includes B side track of Conquest 7”. + lyric poster with US version. CD bootleg circa 2001 with first three 7”s and first LP. Bootleg has blue title cover and exact repro of the green labels.

Good powerful hardcore with that old T&G sound. You can already hear the first traces of hard rock on this LP; some of the songs are a bit slower, and the music tends to be less brutal than that of their labelmates Negative Approach or Fix. But this is still a classic, no doubt about it. [8]  

Lupenreiner 83er-Hardcore in Richtung Negative Approach; gut gespielt und recht sauber produziert (vielleicht eine Spur zu flach); die Songs sind wesentlich differenzierter als auf den ersten 7”s. Tolle Platte mit viel Energie.
