Daarnaast worden nog enkele andere cd's naar voren gehaald

In a very few cases we have chosen to award a special token of merit. It takes the form
of a crown. This is to denote records we feel a special adminraion of affection for:
a purely personal choice, which we hope our readers will deem as such.
We hope our readers will indulge this whim (aldus samensteller Brian Morton)

Core collection

At dawn, when the city yawns and the pavement cools, the VLTED is often gone into the folds of urban myth. If you catch it—if it allows you to catch it—you’ll learn the unspoken rules: respect the machine, respect the code, and never ask about the nights the driver doesn't speak of. They'll only smile, thumb the UPD label, and say, "It remembers."

Built from scavenged alloy and code, the VLTED's body is a patchwork of midnight and impatience. Its engine growls like a displaced animal in top-gear exile, fed by an ECU hacked by a small army of disgruntled mechanics and a lone programmer who writes poetry in hexadecimal. The taillights pulse not in red but in a slow, defiant magenta—an ocular signature that marks the VLTED’s passing like a comet's tail.

And somewhere, under the hum of streetlamps and the low prayer of an idling engine, the VLTED 45 updates itself again—quiet, insistent—hungry for another night.

The city sleeps in orange and steel; neon breathes over rain-slick asphalt. They call it the VLTED — a name scratched into late-night forums and whispered under helmet visors. Version 45, UPD: the forty-fifth revision of a car never meant to be tamed. It isn't just a ride. It's a lit fuse with tires.

Drivers who can tame VLTED 45 don't race for trophies. They race for stories. For the brief, blazing minutes between lights when the city becomes a race-track and everything else falls away. Legends grow here: a rookie who slid the VLTED through a ninety-degree turn with a grocery cart stuck in the rear bumper; a mechanic who coded an Easter egg that plays a synthesized lullaby whenever the revs hit exactly 4,500 RPM; a midnight run where the car outran a cop's cynicism and a drone's stare.

They say 45 was the update that made it almost human. Firmware UPD—Underground Performance Drive—rewrote throttle curves, taught the traction control to improvise, and let the steering learn the city's memory. It remembers corners the way an old lover remembers a favorite street: every bump, every supermarket light that turns yellow too early, every alley that smells of engine cleaner and fried snacks.

On certain nights, when the rain writes calligraphy across the windshield, you can hear the UPD breathing—subtle micro-adjustments, the whisper of algorithms learning to push harder, to keep the edge between adrenaline and destruction. The VLTED 45 UPD isn't flawless. It scars easily; its dashboard is a constellation of stickers and burn marks. But it's honest—predictable only in its unpredictability.
