It's almost impossible to recall another music record that sounds even remotely similar to this one.
I don't think I've ever heard another album as complex as this one in terms of composition and musical ideas. I mean, listen to tracks like 50 Cycles and then listen to Steinbolt. They don't even sound like they were made by the same person.

Michael Cullen (aka Mike Dred/Mike Cullen/The Kosmik Kommando) brings quality Acid Techno that doesn't take itself too serious. If you like Acid Techno as much as me then you'll love this record. Easily one of my favorite Acid Techno records and probably the best one on the Universal Indicator series (hard to choose between this and the Green one).
I'll give it a 3 out of 100 just for the little effort he put into this. It's not the worst album ever but it's probably on my top 10.
Despite being a poorly mastered album there's no other album that sounds like this (maybe Squarepusher's Burningn'n Tree comes close) when it comes to Jungle. One of the most interesting Jungle/Drum & Bass records you'll ever stumble upon and my favorite Buckethead album.
