referencing Fools Gold 9.53, 12", Maxi, ZT 43322

The Original 9.53 version of Fools Gold back in 1989, you can't have failed to take notice - because it is astounding. Apparently it was intended to be the B side to What the World is Waiting For - even Squire and Brown weren't aware of their musical genius at the time! But listening to the irresistibly hypnotic groove produced by the effortlessly funky guitar, a superb drum loop and that bassline ten years later, it is still the groundbreaking sound of a band at the peak of their genius, drawing on influences such as Hendrix, Sly Stone and Chicago house music and moulding them into something unique And Very Unforgettable by these northern monkeys the defining point of music for the 1990's. anything after is merely trying to emulate dance music-all from this record .

An awesome set of remixes of an original rave classic!

Rabbit In The Moon turn in another incredible performance smashing tribal, deep house, trance and breakbeats together to create two completely unique versions. The famous bass line is still there, as well as the vocals, and snippets of the guitars. But, RITM's ability to blend these samples into their own soundscapes just generates an entirely different feel to the songs.

Grooverider basically kept the song intact. He pitched the track up from it's original 116bpm to a more danceable 128bpm. Beefier drums and some fade effects are really the only other noticeable change to the song. Still, as it is very similar to the original, it does bring back some excellent memories...
