Back in the days, at the end of 1994, Harthouse released the sophomore effort of Hardfloor´s “RESPECT” – following in the footsteps of their debut album “TB Resuscitation”. While resuming and and refining the sound of the first longplayer, the second album continued the success story of the debut “TB Resuscitation” (06/1993) as well as the 12”-releases “Acperience EP” and “Transcript” which then where key for the rising wave of Acid Trance. Over the years, all Hardfloor productions were defined by the distinctive 303 sound – or even by simultaneously using three synchronized 303s. With the artwork of the first Hardfloor releases, Oliver Bondzio and Ramon Zenker tribute to the visual artists who had strongly influenced the creation and development of their unique sound. February 2002 sees the long-awaited re-release of “RESPECT” on CD and double vinyl – which Ramon Zenker carefully re-mastered. As a bow before their fan base, the CD contains two bonus tracks: “Mahagony Roots” (Work Remix) and “Kangaroos & Bubbles” (Armando’s Darkside Mix). Watch out – this addictive acid may corrode your ear-drums!

The first part of the „The Life We Choose“ album series starts with the 9 minutes long acid-monster: „The Trill Acid Theme“.
„Swiffer“ is dominated by a hypnotic acid line, which is corrupted by interfering effects. „Melorec“ is based on influences of HARDFLOOR`s side project DDPNP, melodic 303 lines, but here
they come in the context of the typical HARDFLOOR groove. All things considered this is Hardflooracid at it’s best!

The 2nd part of the “The Life We Choose” Album series starts with “Who You Gonna Call?” The track is built on a melodic 303 acid line, which, followed by two more 303s, results in a complete acid trip. “The Life We Choose” is compelling, with its 117 bpm Electro-Groove, strong bassline combined with a hypnotic acid line, right up to the triumphant string finale. “Itz Ok (Club Mix)”: sombre, expressive vocals mixed with acid beats make one thoughtful, despite enjoying the whole package in a “Hardfloor will survive” club mix! Attention! Full album cover comes with part 3!
