"New life for the hunted" upset the balance of music underground,pushed the boundries further than ever before,and definatly opened up new doors in the imagination, "Ad finite" carries on from there, although, not being quiet as dark as its previous cousin, it contains some chilling score and vocals, the transition between clasical and dark trip-hop sends a shudder down your exposed spine.No one can claim Genaside2 have been sitting on their laurels,even though there has been a few years between albums, it shows definate maturity, with songs like "The genaside will not be telivised" a clever mix between spoken word/music and clasical music, a venture that only genaside2 could achieve, daunting, yet dark. There is no "album fillers" on here either, all the tracks have been painfully manufactured to give the most narrow minded listner a rollercoaster ride of stunning music, eerie links and breakneck beats, "heaviest" is perhaps a little self indulgant of the Brixton-boys , but I think that you'll agree, they have definatly earned the right.
Every house should have at least one of Genasides albums, and although that this is not the benchmark of their talents, its definatly worth spending your hard earned on.
I hope that your imagination can accomadate what they throw at you, not just musically, but visualy too!

Maybe not the best of All Time, but definitely in the top 5
7 Nov 2000
Format:Audio CD
I've had this CD for quite some time now, and it has remained my favorite CD for the entire duration -- 10 months or so. I found that it had magnificent instrumentation and fearless originality unsurpassed in the electronic genre today. I do not consider it a dance "album," except to say that a few of the songs are danceable, but consider it to be perhaps the best listening experience of our generation. "The Genaside Will Not be Televised," is a stunning orchestral techno/breakbeat adaptation and remake of Gill Scott-Heron's "The Revolution Will Not be Televised" that serves as the grand entrance to this CD. It is followed by a series of jungle and breakbeat pieces, any of which could be danced to, but all of which suit the rocking chair far better. The CD reaches it's hard breakbeat climax at track 5 with "Mr. Maniac," the first single from the CD (although if you're looking for a single representational piece, check out "The Revolution will not be Televised" or "Bizarre Bleedin'") and then we are allowed to relax with an absolutely fantastic orchestral breakbeat piece (Bizarre Bleedin'). This exits into a somewhat darker, nearly gothic, set of pieces, followed by a pair of dark songs unparalleled in originality and excellence, #10 (forgot the name - maybe "Death of the Kamikazee") and the title track and ends on a slightly jazzy track 12. This CD is fantastic, impress your friends and amaze women (they flock to me now) with this amazing set from Genaside II.
I cannot recommend a CD more highly than this one. *Everybody* who has listened to it - and this includes people who are none too fond of electronic music - seems to like it tremendously, and I am convinced you will too. 5 unhesitating stars.

The sound really reminds you of their first album "New life 4 the hunted" but Ad finite is even better!
