Reese ‎– Just Want Another Chance

I've been into jungle/drum and bass since its inception and was a fan of Dillinja's Deadly Deep Subs but it wasn't until someone reviewing that tune spotted that it was a *cough* total rip off of this.
I'm ashamed to say that I had heard of the reese bassline and alex reese (obviously) but never put 2 + 2 together?!
D'oh.
I feel that as mentioned this record is truly a masterpiece and a building block of drum and bass.
It still sounds fresher than most dance music today.

the rhythm tracks are the best minimal jacking tracks ever...the whole ep is the nuts

Just want another chance without a great many people realizing it is probably as important to the genre of drum and bass as say, the winstons "Amen brother".

Because contained within is the original source sample of the Reese bassline.

As a techno record in its own right, this is frankly fucking enormous. The 909 drums sound like they were recorded in an aircraft hanger, Master reese's whispering vocals are fairly fitting, but it is the bass that sends this track into another dimension.
bounce across to version 3 of just want and you find what is more like a bass-a-pella and right there is that solo'd bass.

One of my first recollections of this being used in any drum and bass record has to be Terrorist's (Ray keith + Nookie) Renegade
on moving shadow which funnily enough is basically this bass sample and-you guessed it--the Amen brother break!!

And remember, This is a record from 1988--when it was all just house music, but man, we really are talking blueprint of techno here. Even some Transmat records (dare i say it) never ever sounded this good.

The master Reese undeniably pioneering.
Without some records, things would have been so different.
