Massive rave track. This has got to be one of the most kicking records i have ever heard. It's a very aggressive record. The tune is essentially built around an old eerie horn sample. The track then drops into some very meaty Amen layered with another old hip hop break behind the Amen - sped up to about 135bpm. The layered breaks are then accompanied by a tidal wave of sub bass. It then breaksdown into some weird repeated synths. It's a very hectic record, but a damn good one. Very possibly Tim Taylor's finest moment, and there have been some to choose from too.

When i first heard this about 10 years ago, i couldnt believe what i was hearing. On a loud system this must sound so heavy. At the time 1992, this must have stood head and shoulders above other rave tunes for the way it's been produced. Pure chaos.
Rated 5/5

The Horn Track, foghorn mix always goes well when mixing, but for just sheer floor filling madness just drop the original mix, if you dont have this in your collection then get it!

The one and only release (as far as i'm aware) under the name 'Egyptian Empire'. Cracking hardcore/breakbeat track from the early nineties that was guaranteed to bring the house down - as soon as you hear the horn sound its a 'hairs on the back of your neck' moment. Fast paced and with tons of bass, Track 1 is the better aurally although track 2 is easier to mix with. Great release.
