It seems so ahead of its time, the stuttering delayed amen is amazing, I cant think of much from 1993 or before that was that edited or sounded that good maybe until Remarc took everyone to the edge of what you can do to an amen.
Thats just the intro though, it rolls nicely with powerful sub's and even if you dont know the tune, you know it is building up to something.
Then eventually it happens and in comes one of the most beautiful, euphoric breakdowns you will ever hear.
Then the amens hit again and its all over, pure goosebumps material.
Also props to the cute little backspins between the amens halfway through, classic sign of oldskool.
Anyway the A side is no bitch either, only a tune like Warpdrive could over shadow it.
Meditation is another great amen tune but this one is a shade less dark, quite a deep tune and got heavy play from Bukem and the likes.
Probably the best double A-side in jungle drum & bass history.
Also, this got a repress recently and is pretty easy to get hold of, but the version of Warpdive on the repress is not the original. It has different amen edits, not quite as good.
Was the same version that was played out on dub a bit and also was used on the Promised Land album.
Still for a fiver its still worth it
