Named in homage to the series of collectable football cards from the 1970s, the Rothmans label follows the inaugural Mario Kempes Release with another long-haired icon being given his dues in the form of The Harald Toni Schumacher Release, complete with another four tracks of chugging techno-disco. Emotional Responses Timothy J Fairplay kicks things off with *Off The Rails*, an expectedly dark and tense piece of Carpenter-esque synth, while LWE writer Per Bojsen-Moller delivers the atmospheric techno of *Staying Late*, whose rippling analogue bassline gives way to an unexpectedly funky breakdown. On the flip, Steve Cooks *Noahs Arp* takes things a Balearic house direction with its thick, filtered analogue textures adding some psychedelic colour to its mid-tempo grooves, while Emile Strunzs *Magnetic* adds some acid flavour to its low-swung, vocoder saturated Italo swagger.
