There is a God! A re-release. I foolishly sold this absolute classic a few years ago and regretted it ever since. Now i can have it again! Its a shame the artwork changed but you cant have it all can you. This EP should be bought by anybody who wants the cream of early IDM. A hell of a lot more affordable than the original too.
Rated 5/5

Interestingly, this is sometimes refered to as the very first record to contain a "Jungle" track !!! Often sighted as a major influence on the jungle/breakbeat scene !!!
Just one of the great moments in Uk electronic music to me though !

If anybody out there is wondering whether or not this EP is actually worth spending their money on, dont wonder, its absolutely superb.
The track 'It felt like it'alone is worth the money. It is very warm and deep and loaded with emotion. One of my fave Black Dog EPs of all time. I got this brand new for five quid in 94 and stupidly sold it along with loads of other stupidly rare records before anybody acknowledged electronica as a genre worth paying anything for!
Rated 5/5

only 500 copies remain, after greyhound claimed they melted them due to lack of shelf space. Perhaps they were melted, but not before some of the staff members helped themselves to free copies.

Black Dog then moved to GPR records because all their cash was tied up in these 500 records that were melted.
