Far Away on first listen has all the components of an anthem - The haunting vocal, the '94 break and chord progressions. And it actually follows through years later! I listen to this and am reminded of how jungle used to be.
Unlike many that have said It's Yours is boring. I love It's Yours more, and not just because of the heavy Amen break! It's fun to dance around to and I can see mixing this with any new track out on the market. I love that. And You'll love it too.

I agree with Pipe regarding "Far Away," but I have to disagree regarding "It's Yours"....the B-side starts out a bit dry and uninteresting, but that makes it excellent for mixing. Check out the tune from the mid-way break, every bit as beautiful and engaging as "Far Away."
This 12" makes me miss the days of the "Double A-side," when many jungle 12"s didn't have a throw-away B-side.
This is without question one of the best 12"s I've ever heard in any genre. Doc Scott is a master of jungle. Though his output is limited, he takes great care to smash it with every release and this one is no exception. "Far Away" is a drum and bass epic, taking you farther away than you can imagine to another dimension of space travel and blissful relaxation. "It's Yours" samples the famous old T LaRock track, and while it isn't quite as good as "Far Away", it's still better than just about any other song in your record box.
