Some sources (including the Thursday Club website) claim that 'Uberzone & Rennie Pilgrem - Black Widow' is widely regarded to be the first tribal nu-skool breaks tune. It is a great tune, but the 'Drum-attic Twins & Lee Coombs Tribal Dub Mix' on this release came out about a year earlier. This mix was released on Thrust the next year as 'Tribal Tension' with breaks and house mixes (the breaks mix is one of my all time favourite tunes). This release, Thrust 4, came out a couple of months after 'Black Widow' which is probably why it didn't get the credit. I don't know if that makes the 'Tribal Dub Mix' the first for this style, but I'm sure it means 'Black Widow' isn't.

What a beautifully creative song. Samples mambo music, with luscious female vocals by Pat Appleton. A definite 5 stars. This record definitely deserves more recognition.
