Headtrip – Volume 1. Issue 1.


August 15, 1996

On August 1st, Think Tank released its first product since the 1991 12″ single, “A Knife & A Fork” (HAK 1001). The 12″ single, called “The Screen”, is being distributed by Watts Music in New York (who will handle all of our vinyl). An additional 500 copies are being distributed to the major record pools, including Progressive, Net, For The Record, Northwest Dance Music Association, Let’s Dance/IRS, and Beats Per Minute.

The 12″ contains remixes by L.E.D., DJ Jezus Juice & Phuzz, Haloblack, and yours truly, the only man infinity truly fears. Also on the 12″ is “Baphomet”, a bonus track which will not be appearing on the Think Tank full-length CD.

Watts described “The Screen” as follows: “From the group that brought you ‘A Knife & A Fork’ comes this funky trippy industrial techno, with a trip hop edge. (He forgot tribal, jungle, hardhouse, hardloop, ambient, illbient, blunt stylee, chip hop, intelligent and synthcore) – PJR. We suggest the slightly more sedate album mix, with a lovely throbbing deep progressive sound.”

John Avery of DJTraxx said: “The L.E.D. mix sounds like Richie Hawtin meets NIN.”

Other reviews of the 12″ will be posted in Headtrip 2, unless they are negative, in which case we will perform voodoo hex rituals against the perpetrators.

Think Tank’s debut full-length, “Skullbuggery” will arrive in September, with a street date of September 10. Distributed through ADA, the entire CD really is industrial techno with a trip hop edge, as Jeff at Watts so authoritatively stated.
