It's pure energy delivered in buzz, bass, siren, rap, and pitch shifters. Wailing female vocals take it home. The tracks groove so hard, all you need to do is close your eyes and you're surrounded by manic strobes of color. These songs roll over you like a giant neon beach ball--you're flattened by sound, but never crushed. Hang on, you'll roll right on top of the ball, and back down again. It's a great ride. --Beth Bessmer« less

"The first album ever released by Mr. Englen, this Cd is a once in a lifetime thang. I'm just glad I was around to see the dance music explosion of the early 90's and late 80's. Almost every song on this album will keep your feet moving and your ears listening. Very good for parties, for a drive or just for lounging at home. DO NOT PASS THIS ONE BY because one day, it WILL be out of print. That's just how it goes with something so good. If you can find any Praga Khan releases from before this album was released, grab them in a flash because they are extremely rare and very good. And hey, if u don't like them, you know who to sell them to (me). The best song on this album is probably the major hit "Injected With A Poison" but "Double Function" is not far behind."
One of many great Praga Khan albums

"Praga Khan is simply a phenomenon. He is certainly the most talented guy ever to grace the techno/trance stage. A mention must also go to Oliver Adams (the techno wiz) and Nikki Van Lierop (aka Jade4U) who have mixed and sang on his albums and who are also part of the bandThis album is amazing. It will have you dancing around the room and will have you tappin' your feet to every beat. Praga's albums are nothing short of fantastic and seeing him perform live is one of the best things I have ever seen. He is without a shadow of a doubt the greatest performer ever!!!!"

"PK's grand entrance into the world. For the first time, there was a difference in techno/dance music that ...Technotronic, C+C Music Factory, etc. this album sprung up and moved ... all over the world and was an aural blessing 4me even at age 9!!! this is a true masterpiece and something only a [guy]would pass up without listening to first. there's something for everyone from the acid-craze of Injected, to the jungle field day of Double-Function to the high hunt of Gun Buck right down to the dance fever inducing Rave Alarm. be sure to blast this one very loud b/c that's the only way to hear it. and share... roll down ur windows and crank it up, everyone will wonder who ur playing! Check out the singles from this LP as well."
Very Good

"I started listening to Praga Khan because of the Lords of Acid. It was much different than I figured, but I was presently surprised. This is a very solid CD with some great tracks. It's great music to put on loud and zone to. Otherwise, and more likely, put it on and let it move you. Great use of electronics and vocals."
