'Holocaust' is a fucking wicked track

For sure one of the most special oldschool breakbeat tunes ever "released". From what I know the song 'Happy Feelings' could not be released due to unauthorized usage of some vocal-sample they after did not get clearance (license) for...too bad! Actually it took me 13 years to get a copy of that vinyl and I honestly can say: I don't regret spending that much time on that task. Especially the A-side makes that song an alltime classic for me: really marvelous piano line followed by some extra-ordinary (808-based) breakbeat, a soft bouncing bassline, not in the usual style of those early years, amazing MC lines in a somehow "pop" styled way, female vocals that go deep under your skin (the mentioned vocal-sample) and an arrangement that never lacks a red line. Most definitely a must-have for every oldschool vinyl collector!
