Started at Heaven in Charing Cross in 1988, Rage emerged into a musical environment buzzing with the illict energy of acid house.
As the label explains, Rage pitted that energy “against the new and exciting sounds emanating from Belgium, Amsterdam, Detroit, Sheffield, Essex and Hackney and in turn created a new style, a new sonic attitude and energy in the process.”
The result was a nascent jungle sound, where “rumbling bass-lines, narcotic synth rushes and roughly chopped and sped-up breakbeats all merged” to create something new.
Charting this development, the 32-track compilation is split into four 12″ double packs, released by Above Board Projects.
