Review by tharobster Jun 23, 2011 (edited 11 months ago)
one of the rarest tracks from the early 90's , only 50 made , and thankfully never bootlegged . this grey vinyl version without labels is totally different to all other versions . to hear this played full volume in a club is an incredible experience especially if you are having an err 'enhanced' night ?!! lol .
compeltely different to all other tracks out there at the time , this is a virtual journey along the M62 motorway in northern england - a bit like the KLF's concept lp chillout wa a virtual road trip accross america . i never knew the vocal was pete wylie tho , he sounds more manchester accented on this record than liverpool where he is from ? strange .
it is a holy grail of uk warehouse acid house encapsulating the illegal rave feel of those northen parties in abandoned warehouses and fields around the M62 locality . with its pounding reverbed warehouse kick , and sirens type noises which vaguely resemble old blackburn mills 'clocking off' sirens and a vocal which is different to the scottish accented commercial remixes , this stands the test of time . its going to cost a lot of money to acquire and original probs about £250 , but surely worth it . sasha had the vision and balls to play this when half the north was listening to ital style piano happy house and regularly used to drop this at his gigs at the time ie shellys in stoke and totally destroy the venue .
amazing !
