Predating the massive international explosion of rap-metal by several years, this Dutch quintet delivered a highly innovative, funk-driven crossover debut. The album brilliantly integrates live turntablism and hip-hop sampling into a tight, organic rock framework led by heavily distorted guitars and infectious grooves. Driven by the surprise hit 'Deeper Shade of Soul', it proved to be a highly influential blueprint for bands like Rage Against the Machine.
