In my opinion this is Bam Bams finest work. It's the TR808 Programming and slow melodic groove that catches you until the TB303 really does your head damage :) I used to play this record constantly in 88, a true acid house classic.

"Where's Your Child" is a classic acid track with some verry nice and scary vocals in it.
The original version is very strong, minimalizing the Track on its instrumental basics + a nice acid base line and adding a really "deep" flair.
Recommended if you like the Acid ;-)

Rated 4/5

Although it's a hard idea to get across if you just see a scanned version, the sleeve and label give quite a trippy visual effect if held up close to your face. As for the music, well, the legendry avant-garde group Coil thought highly enough of it to cover the track.

A definitive Acid track with a kicking bass and an hypnotic 808? riff the spooky "where's your child, breaking glass etc....", I used to listen to this track (amongst others) before going to a party and laugh out loud at the irony of the lyrics as I lived at home with my parents and they didn't have a clue about what I did at weekends until I decided to come clean and confess many years later in a moment of guilt ( They were really ok about it ALL ), but no regrets though! this track always brings me back to where I used to be, although it's not my favourite ;) 9/10 8 )

Review by Robbie_Kamper Oct 03, 2002
The "Suck mix" is the spiciest version of Where's your child. The vocals and laughter are ominious and there's the sound of breaking glass or what is it in an unexpected break. It's a circus, but a brilliant one!
