A track that can only be described as a journey. An almost timeless piece of music. I will live with this track forever...imagine the future.

A legendary release from the Black Dog - I cained "Virtual" for years. The track was a ten minute journey with big build ups and futuristic ambient interludes - and then when that syncopated kicks comes in, the track just keeps frantically building and building. There has not been many tracks since that has come close to "Virtual". It was Techno, Breaks and Ambience all thrown into the mix and has to go down as one of the precursors to that english big beat/breaks sound.

The immortal line in this track "i'm sitting in my room imagining the future" pretty much sums it up. This record was way ahead of its time in terms of the sound and production. This record sure does take you on a journey where you can simply lose yourself for a whole 10 minutes before having to wipe the needle. Awesome.
