I much prefer the Four Cornered Room to the Yellow Wise Rug album - in fact,
buying YWR discouraged me from hunting out any more of Luke Slater's 7th
Plain output... I recently got hold of the Four Corned Room and was
impressed - really nice melodic Detroit influenced techno..

Planetary Assault Systems went downhill from Vol 5 I reckon.. PAS's
'Twilight' is a classic.. My favourite Luke Slater banger is the main track
on X-Tront Vol 3.. disgustingly dirty, grubby production, and harsh swept
EQed percussion - wicked.
