People strive to complete their Axelrod collections of solo albums and obscure productions.

The mystery of Axe is furthered by the fact that a large portion of his production work is hard to find. This is his highly sought after first solo lp and one of his strongest efforts. The sound here is lush orchestrations backed by some hard drum breaks (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=dj+shadow\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDJ Shadow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e notes Axelrod as one of his main influences and shows here). Furthermore, most people agree that this record goes beyond the beats, for if you stop and really listen to this you might be inspired to go fly a plane. It's actually a pretty dramatic suite divided into 7 parts based on the writings of \u003cstrong\u003eWilliam Blake\u003c\/strong\u003e, some guy who tested the boundaries. Don't think that this whole album is breakbeat madness though; to some it sounds a bit like rock-tinged symphony music.
