Well known for its robo cop intro which helped in it becoming such a mainstream hit even though it was nothing but a rough demonic monumental slab of uk hardcore hip hop , but bullet did it in such a very eerie scary evil way which not many had done before. Samples, scratchers and lyrics were all menacing in a mystic type way. It hit the totps charts which still surprises me considering what else was on there at the time yet still was loved by fans of gunshot hijack demon boys london posse etc strange times, for a while there it seemed london had been set alight and bullet was in the middle spitting lyrics of fury.
As mentioned above, this record contains samples from the motion picture "Robocop", where the fully mechanical type is presented first, just to go on a rampage due to a software failure. Anyway, this record uses a extremely pitched up breakbeat later to be used in "Rhythm Quest - Closer to all your dreams (Hibrid mix)" and for me its a cornerstone in the evolution of hardcore/junglemusic in the late 80's uk just like Rebel MC and Shut up & dance. Shift this gangsta hiphop and get this one... real hardcore!
TUNE!
