The definitive version! Worth hunting down and paying the extra dosh for. The Seal vocal 'music takes you round and round...' is only used twice, maybe it could have been used more but hey, what a tune, absolute stone cold classic! Check the 2 Bad Mice remix which is wicked also. Big up Blame, good to see he's still around and making quality tunes, and Moving Shadow, so many essential releases and still going strong!

Actually that "Drop It" sample is on the 2 Bad Mice remix. May have been on the promo, pulled from the official release due to clearance, and re-featured on the remixes later when they did get clearance. Not sure, only Mr Blame or Rob Playford could tell you that.

This version does not contain the seal vocal!!!.The seal vocal was only present on the promo release and as cow said it was pulled for copyright reasons.

But this is still a classic oldskool hardcore anthem.And even without the seal vocal it's still a top tune, with awesome breakbeats and good vocal samples.

The version with the Seal vocals had to be pulled for copyright violation and now sells for good money.
Rated 5/5

full on rave classic, with vocals sounding very reminiscent of Black Box and (i'm sure) a bit of Seal for the intro??? "Kick it" the sample says, and we certainly did, this was early 90s rave at its best. Great jungle beat, with vocals that got your heart pounding and your feet stompin. All the DJs had it in their set, top marks to Top Buzz who used to open their set with a slightly slowed down version which did the trick. A treasured 12" in my collection.
Rated 4/5

"The music takes you round and round", I've got a feeling this was sampled from a tune called 'hold on to love', but I cant remember the artist. Anthemic early 90 hardcore, real floor filler at the time. Remixes are much of the same. Still a classic. Z.
Rated 4/5

Blim manages to remix a hardcore tune without sounding cheesy. (John B doesn't but it's still pretty good!) Plus you get the hard to find original remixes. Bargain!
