„From a time when there were few „rules“ in the production of dance music, this track combines all sorts of elements that were heard in the music of the time. Subtle use of a sampled breakbeat, layered over the deep pulsing kick, give the track an irresistible energy on the dancefloor. This carries the listener while the gorgeous heavy atmospherics completely entrance them. The use of a simplistic single hit piano line at a couple of points could put the integrity of the track in jeopardy, but it‘s not so cheesy and lasts for a short enough time that once the deepness kicks back in it just forms a strange memory, like passing lights leaving a fading trace on the retina. At the track‘s climax the „drainpipe“ sounds rise up again, and are for a few seconds enveloped in one of the most intensely beautiful synth washes I‘ve ever heard. You want that moment to last forever, but as quickly as you have been lifted up, you are dropped straight back into the beat, and that snappy break sample sets you off again.“ (max duley @ discogs.com)The track "Mad Monks On Zinc" has been on Tobias Lampe‘s memory of a glorious clubnight in the very early 90‘s at the legendary "Planet" in Berlin. When Sven Väth played out this track he was freaking out on the dancefloor, but asking Sven for the track's name didn't lead to success, as Sven pointed on the record with a grin: the 12" only had a big question mark on it!Finally Tobias got a copy of that record during one of his regular record-huntings in Soho, but it wasn‘t until 1999 when he finally
discovered the actual artist & title. At this time Holy Ghost Inc. were better known for true splendid Techno with releases on e.g. Berlin‘s Tresor label than for their early 90‘s releases, when „cutting edge DJs like Andrew Weatherall were pioneering the Holy
Ghost Inc.‘s "Mad Monks On Zinc", the fourth and best in a series of deeply underground, eclectic EPs“ (Mixmaster Morris in Mixmag 1992).Now, almost 16 years after the original release on their own "Holy Ghost Inc." imprint "Mad Monks On Zinc" is reborn in company of two fantastic interpretations by Adultnapper and Martin Buttrich....just at the right time !
