Name: N. ThomasAlbum: Elite Force - `No turning back'Released: 7/21/03 by Whole9Yards records`No Turning Back' is artillery for an aggressive-acidic assault annihilating any assumed limits. In terms of the cutting edge, this is the proverbial ladder of swords. A true pillar of the widely acclaimed "tech-funk" style, fusing elements of acid house, techno, tribal, and four-on-the-floor kicks with the trademark Elite Force arsenal of nasty tweaks, grooves, breakbeats and basslines.The tracks are a combination of classic singles and new material, but this is no mere compilation. This is an album in the truest sense, with seamless transition through genre-bending realms. Previously released singles include: the tech-house flavored `Krushin4,' the funky bass-breaks of `Vapour Trail,' and the chart-topping fourbeat-burners `Gasoline Alley,' with an abrasively catchy synthline, and its funk-minded, tribal counterpart `Haiku.' Also recently released on a 12" single was the title-track `No Turning Back,' an intense (yet, club-friendly) jaunt into acid-breaks territory, drawing you in with the robotic vocal cut, and building an overall frenzy with layers of sound. You can be assured the rest of the new material follows suit. In its entirety Elite Force creates a true listening experience with `No Turning Back' that includes something for every electronic fan.
