Anyone know anything about IST records?

I picked up an IST 12" in a junk shop with a big mushroom on the cover and 4 tracks of super fast trippy techno (definitely early Aphex / PCP influence), but not a lot of info... anyone give me some background?

IST is a sublabel of Industrial Strength, so it belongs to the Lenny Dee stable - at one point I heard it was an acronym for "Industrial Strength Trance", but I don't think that this is true.

[wheezer]

well I am mistaken, that's really what the acronym stands for

There's definitely a trance element to the tunes, but thank fuck it's from 94 so it's just the synth sounds, not the retard dynamics too.

That Koenig Cylinders 99.9999999999 came out on IST.

Fekkin' still hear that out 10 years later..
