DJ Freak - Alien Raves, Drug Crazed Rioters And Man Eating Machines E.P. (PTH 010)

This is one of the few DJ Freak records which hasn't yet been remastered and re-released, and also one of only 3 Epiteth records that was never re-issued. It's hard to say if there was an actual problem with the vinyl, as the grooves look unusually shallow and was completely unplayable on my own turntables(It was good fortune that I even decided to try it on a newer deck today and it seemed to play fine), or some other reason. The A-side is Freak on decent form with his trademark abrasive and excessively overdriven racket, while the flip side is one of his trademark anomalies, one filtering loop following a very difficult to gauge rhythm, ending in a lock(hence the fade-out).

A1 - Metropolis (4:31)
A2 - Test Plate (4:34)
B - Acid Head (5:28 minus a bit for the lockgroove)

PS, what's these 6 new Freak tests on Discogs? Anyone?
