Reynolds compares this style of hardcore techno with heavy metal due to its aggressive overtones and riff-like stabs and notes that Beltram used the Juno Alpha synthesizer to imitate the "dirge-like riffs" of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.

Famous quotes containing the word notable:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
