№ 234 on The 250 Best Electronic Albums of the 20th Century

Kung fu samples and enormous drums; Vertigo's finest

Kung-fu samples and enormous drums sound like a gimmick until Nine Deadly Venoms starts moving. Depth Charge give the breakbeats enough weight and the samples enough timing to turn pulp into personality. Fun is the method, not an apology.

№ 13 on The 10 Best Big Beat and Breaks Albums

Kung-fu samples and breakbeats before anyone had a word for it. Trip-hop with a body count.
