This is one of the hardest and meanest B sides ever produced during the formative years of 'rave' breakbeat. The track is full of dark intentions, with rolling breaks, beeps, and an unforgettable hoover sub-bass line, that howls and twists around the speakers. This was one of the seminal hardcore tunes, played extensively by the likes of Top Buzz and Dj SS, and is unique in being so dark, especially considering the 'piano' era of 1991.
Played loudly today, it has lost none of it's potency, and rivals anything that has been produced in the hardcore scene since. An absolute monster, classic track, which no true hardcore aficionado can do without. 10/10

This for me is the best of the 'Energizer' series and the only one that I would like to own. More techno/electronic oriented than the rest which are more breakbeat/vocal sample/piano/jungle oriented with a higher BPM.
For old skool hardcore techno heads who liked their hardcore hard and where around in 1991; side A concists of a major mish-mash of tunes which were big in the hardcore rave circuit around that period. From The Hypnotist's - House Is Mine & Hardcore U Know The Score, to Human Resource's - Dominator, Smart System's - Tingler & Plastic Jam's - Made In 2 Minutes to Bizarre inc's - Playing With Knives to name a few.
Side B on the other hand is a stand alone breakbeat techno track with a serious, dark hoover buzzing sound, low frequency bassline, hypnotic bleeps, harsh stabs and tough amen style break.
Underground classics for the headstrong. You know the score!
