The Pulse EPs cover
Released

It’s been suggested that Garry Cobain and Brian Dougans didn’t consider the Pulse EPs of hardcore rave under multiple pseudonyms as creatively worthwhile as they did their spacier, proggier output as The Future Sound of London – regarding them as throwaway bits of DJ fodder. It would be a shame if this is the case, as the tracks are up there with the very best of their output, and were appreciated by ravers and rave music connoisseurs as such. As Yage, Mental Cube, Indo Tribe and others, they bottled the lighting as elements of house warmth, Detroit techno futurism, Belgian industrial madness and breakbeat funk flew around the ether – all these tracks are every bit as psychedelically complex as FSOL’s rambling epics, but condensed into blasts of pure ecstatic energy.
