'Bacteria' is absolutely awesome. I love the doomsday intro and the twisted bass is a joy to listen to. One of my fav dnb tunes off all time from the masters of tech dnb. This is also a joy to mix with and i fondly remember when i first picked this up, i had been after it for ages!

'Gasmask' is a worthy flip tune too with nice atmospheric and a sick rolling bassline. Both tunes are excellent and this is a must have 12" for any fan of the classic Virus sound.

The greatest drum and bass 12" ever created? Well it's up there right with Roni Size's 26 Bass/Snapshot. Absolutely amazing stuff once again. Such an important milestone in the development of the genre puts it up in the top ten most important drum and bass plates ever.
