To me, this is one of the best Bad Company 12"s you can own. "Flashback" is a tearing anthem in the classic BC mode, an ideal combination of tramens and reese bass that holds up against any of BC's more well known tunes like "Torpedos", "Nitrous", or "Planet Dust". I recall an Ed Rush and Optical set I went to where they played this, completely unmixed as their final tune, such was its impact.

On the flip is the under-rated "Spacewalk", a dark neuro tech stepper that was typical of the sound BC were pushing at the time. Sadly, the quality of this release was not continued in the album it acted as the sampler for, "Digital Nation", in my opinion.

"Flashback" was remixed as "Miami Flashback" on BC's "Book of the Bad Vol 3", but for my ears the original is the preferred mix. The remix adds instrumentation (including a big intro), but lacks the punch of the original.

This is essential BC at their best. Heavy release!

The combination of samples on "Flashback (Tumba)" worths the mentioning, for the Bad Company guys knew what they were doing: "I'm a reaal!" was taken from the House classic 'Frankie Knuckles & Satoshi Tomie - Tears' from 1989 on the opening lyrics by Robert Owens: "I'm a real... good actor!";
the other sample is a fine synth line taken from another classic from Frankie Knuckles: 'The Night Writers - Let The Music (Use You)' (1987), also used on the hardcore classic "DJs Take Control" by SL2.
