Review by Stakkertoo Feb 19, 2009
Remember this tune like it was yesterday, just picked up a new piece of vinyl to replace my old one. Nice. Real nice. Even though it's not in the spirit of rave, I always had a soft spot for the rap version, but what a mean tune!!

The b side track sounds very like early Moby. It's also very very similar to the b side of temple of dreams, messiah's much bigger follow up from 1992.
Rated 5/5

Breakbeat rave tune using the mentasm bassline, operatic voices and police sirens. Is Anyone Still Alive opens with a sample from the nuclear war film, The Day After.
