in the recent time i was able to track down a lot of my favourite albums that made me love hardcore music and its ideals in the first place (heaven shall burn, cataract, etc.). one among them has been and still is born from pain's sophomore release sands of time. very dark and angry hardcore from this dutch power house plus great sound by tue madsen's antfarm. i kept my eyes open for it for a long time and it was available on ebay only for 35€, which was just too much for me. one day looking around at discogs (www.discogs.com) it was there for the taking for 16€. "strike!" was my first thought. but it got even better: checking the seller i recognized it was a record store from hamburg, zardoz namely. so actually i didn't have to pay for shipping. one lucky day ;)
