From Wikipedia:
Electronic Warfare is a classic Underground Resistance release, which defined further developments and experiments in electro sound. It was released in double 12″ format in 1996 under the catalog number #033.
Underground Resistance is central to the second wave of Detroit techno. UR presented itself as a musical collective that resists the economic model of the USA, producing uncompromising music geared toward promoting awareness and facilitating political change. Their music embodied a kind of abstract militancy by presenting themselves as a paramilitary group fighting against commercial mainstream entertainment industry. The use of the Stencil typeface is linked to its embodiment by the American military forces. See also this documentary.
