When it came out it only resembled Axis "Step to Enchantment" or Dave Clarkes "Red 3"...unprecedented stubborn loops that kick like hell. A Side was covered in the most silly of ways by Alan Oldham a few times, he called his "composition" "London kills"- kind of lame. Regis then also made a rather solid track for Alans Pure Sonik label.
"speak to me" is simple, repetitive, pure and one of the most PROPER techno tracks ever. this really will never age. regis has moved on and done some great music but the day he got this beat running on his akai he must have laughed like a loon.
