I got into BtB probably 1989-90 via a demo on the Archimedes computer which used a digital version of Don't make me wait as background music. Since then I've always loved that song! I also liked Beat dis and the wicked cover of Say a little prayer. I eventually got a (faulty) 2nd hand tape of the album, and finally in 2001 got the CD new from Key Mail Order. Well, the album is disappointing on the whole - the non-single album tracks are frankly sh1te. It's worth owning for the singles, which are of course fantastic. Another annoying thing about the album is that Megablast (hip-hop on precinct 13) isn't on! Instead the album has this naff Megablast rap featuring Merlin. However, you can get the proper version on the cheap "very best of" CD, which is well worth getting.

I got Into the Dragon on tape for Christmas '88 and wore it out in my Walkman! Wound up giving it ( the tape ) to some girl. Clown that I was... Beat Dis ( I had the 12" ) introduced me to Bomb the Bass, but Don't Make Me Wait made me want the album, and remained my favourite track. Wasn't Lorraine HOT!? BtB released Say a Little Prayer, but the single had an effect on there that wasn't on the album, a sound like someone rattling a stick in a dustbin! Great! Megablast was terrific too, better than the Megablast Rap. Never liked Merlin - looked too much like some school bully! Beat Dat blew me away, but could never have impacted the Top 40 like the more commercial Beat Dis. A brill album. Might buy it again!

DJ Time Simenons cut & paste sampled house record 'Beat Dis' was made with 150 pounds in the summer of 1987.
The record was championed on London Pirate Radio by Mark Moore (S Express) and Nellee Hooper (Soul II Soul) throughout the next twelve months.
Upon official release by Rhythm King Records - the track absoloutely BLEW UP.
Truly reflective of the first tidal wave of commercial house in the UK and overseas, Bomb the Bass had further hits with Dont Make Me Wait, Megablast and Say A Little Prayer.
Beat Dis brings a smile to the face and a tear to the eye of anybody fortunate enough to be involved in dance music in the late 80's!
An absoloutely wicked toon. Ten out of Ten. If this doesnt move ya - check your pulse !!
