It's been said by better people (Simon Reynolds, Bob Stanley) that SUAD are pioneers and influential but that can't be underestimated. From the late 80s to the start of the 90s they melded acid, techno, hip hop, reggae and anything they felt like, using and sampling what they wanted without any cares. They were fairly unique (maybe unique 3, blapps too and renegade sound wave, Lennie de ice etc). Had a few 12"s from the label but always wanted more but they were hard to find and thus never had any Nicolette which is a shame as this is mighty fine. SUAD absolutely key in the foundations of the British breakbeat rave scene. Along with Rebel MC who released a great album also in 92, this album possibly helped set the foundations of jungle. Breakbeat scientists.
