Most of the tracks sounded dated IMO. "So Many Colors" sounds fresh considering it's age, nice steady drum samples, pads and spacey synth sounds. Considering how dirt cheap this CD goes on Amazon and probably Ebay, it's not a bad CD to pick up. Don't expect "Higher Consciousness" to be a great album. Most of the other tracks aren't bad per se, just extremely dated.

This was my first bonified album and the label was run by Scott Schlachter (the legendary New York Dance King Pin Marvin Schlachter's son) Music industry veteran, president, and label head. He was the president of Janus Records and helmed the US divison of Pye International records. After which he launched and was the original owner of Prelude Records. Schlacter was also connected to Micmac Records, Inc. and Chess. His son ran the techno Adrenalin label as sort of a hobby and I was one of their artists. I walked into Marvin's huge office trembling as I felt I was in a higher presence and so desperately needed the $2,000 check to fix my leaking roof back in Minnesota. I sat in the entry and finally got called in and he was a nice dude who just said hi and gave me the $2,000 (a fortune to me at the time) I later found out most the other artists received advances of upwards of $10,000. But this launched my career as well and was a great memory.

This Freddy Fresh cd is a bit specal: Nowhere on the inserts you can find the name of the artist, only on the inlaycard is written the name of the producer, here: Freddy Schmid, but no DWFS. Only the intro track is titled 'Intro DWFS' - it's the beginning - track of an journey into finest high quality analogue techno-trance and 2-3 harder tracks. Fred is a musician who knows how to build the sounds for a deep heart adventure trip. Wonderful tweeting 303 with strings typical for top undergound soul-techno tracks of this era. Paired with bold pounding sometimes resounding bassdrums and another tb 303-line we listen to this what Fred's studio and equipment stand for (check the Freddy Fresh pics on Discogs). Raver and deep techno-lover all over the world speak this language in which Freddy make this music - this is one of the cds I have absolutely no regrets. The cd starts with 'Afterlife', it's the second track after a short intro, a murmuring-beat hihat jet maelstrom. It follows 'Analog Heaven', also a hi-speed hard-acid track DJ Edge would have fun with it, both more harder 303-tracks are the strong intro part of the cd which tie in with the last tracks of the cd which are harder too. Inbetween you find sometimes groovy but hypnotic rythms again with dreamy strings underlined by piano sometimes. Track 10 is a dark 303 stomper, a voice says: Would you be mine again? - and the bassdrum gets in parts double-speed to make sure to get this answer... one of my favorites, this track, no doubt. The next track 11 is a break, a wonderful trance chill to give you the chance to breathe deeply. Nearly every track is typical for the unique Freddy Fresh sound - if you need the 303 you get it and if you miss power then a monster bass sequence comes up from the underworld... If you like more hardcore or harder stuff and you want to chill a bit in a hardcore way I would say this gives the feeling of hardcored deep-trance. Nearly all of the tracks could be taken from Fresh's releases on Experimental Records in the first decade of the 90s: One of the reasons that this cd has the same quality like the better productions of Schmid is that it comes out of that glory era of the beginning of the 90's too - it's a fact that a lot of artist lost their quality in making music and couldn't make underground hits like they did in the later years. Not so Freddy Fresh with this outstanding rare release.
