# Plus System – Neck Breaker / Take A Final Breath
Plus System emerged during the early 2000s as part of the thriving electronic and hardcore music scene. The project reflected the energy and innovation of that era's underground dance music community, where artists were pushing boundaries between different electronic subgenres. This 2002 release on the Evolution Plus label represents a significant moment in the project's catalog, capturing the raw intensity that defined their artistic vision.
Released as a 12-inch vinyl single, Neck Breaker / Take A Final Breath showcases Plus System's mastery of hardcore and happy hardcore styles. The A-side, Neck Breaker, features the project's signature approach to high-energy electronic production, delivering driving beats and aggressive synth work characteristic of hardcore music. The track exemplifies the uncompromising attitude the artist brought to club-oriented productions. On the flip side, Take A Final Breath maintains the intensity while introducing different atmospheric textures, suggesting a slightly more nuanced approach to composition.
The pairing of these two tracks demonstrates Plus System's range within the hardcore spectrum. While both cuts maintain the rapid BPM and relentless energy expected from the genre, they offer distinct sonic identities. The production quality evident on this Evolution Plus pressing reflects the label's commitment to delivering professional releases that satisfied both casual listeners and dedicated vinyl collectors.
For electronic music enthusiasts and hardcore devotees, this 12-inch remains a worthwhile addition to any collection, representing the vibrant underground scene of early 2000s electronic dance music.
