"Stalker" follows in a similar way, with a funny story, but it's the groovy bass line that snatches the crown here. This one is a Carl Cox favorite, as I remember he used it to great effect in a lot of his gigs I've been to. It's a crowd mover for sure, and I don't even mind it sounding heavily dated either.
"Help Me" and "Destination Unknown" are two longer, kind of harsher and more hypnotizing tracks, especially the latter, with a harder kick, is also one of the rare numbers where Green Velvet does not play around with any vocals.
An honorable mention would go to "Answering Machine" and "Preacherman", with really great voice placement and ideas! Especially "Preacherman" which to my pleasant surprise skillfully incorporates excerpts from a sermon over a house beat, and creates a rather entertaining, but preachy tune. A fine release, not for everybody's taste, but essential for the Chicago house fans.
