Aside from being a haunting hardcore statement, Kiss The Sky/Sky Is The Limit has often been commented as a marker to the turning point of the happy rave vibe, and the two A-tracks interestingly hint at the dark synths of future years that still give hints back to the mentasm sounds associated with the late 80's, Joey Beltram et al.
Curiously, tracks on the B-side (Xanadu/Square Methods) give greater reference to the then retiring techno sounds, which is strange considering the darkness which was soon to envelop the scene.
The commerically amiable Top Buzz depicted this by ending their Fantazia 92/93 New Years Eve set at West Point by sliding 'Kiss The Sky' next to 2 Boasters, A Jammy Dodger and a Digestive's 'We're About To Take LSD'.

Magnificent record - so tough and so dark - Goldie was sampling the riff sound for the next 2 years - that's how influential this record was. One of Orlando's greatest pieces and one of THE most influential euro tracks on the UK hardcore scene. The Jimmy Hendrix sample was removed for the UK release.
