      This classic was doing the rounds as early as August '91.

        The Speedy J Mix is THE track on the EP for me. Absolutely brutal and uncompromising techno. It still has it 26 years later.

          Original mix. Filth of the highest (lowest) order. Listen to this and take yourself back to some fukt up early morning 4am situation when you should have known better but didn't give a sh*t. That pumping bass. Those echoed kicks. Last 2 mins are properly gurntastic. Visceral dirt. Just played it three times in a row. 10/10.

            Oldschool Rotterdam Parkzicht Classic.
            Played to death in dutch clubs in 1992.

            Somebody Give The Lord a Handclap!

              Forget the contact mix, it just happens to be first in the You-Tube list. It is the heavily reverbed double kick drum with the monster off beat bass of the original that had people climbing the walls back in the day. So simple yet so devastating. The Sean Connery sample in the contact mix is lame. On the other hand the originals: "Somebody Give The Lord A Handclap". Bam!

                The voice sample of Sean Connery is taken from the Movie ' The Hunt For Red October '. Second voice sample 'The Sonar is Clear' isn't Mr. Connery but the sonar guy. Nice to know, atleast I do.

                  One of My all time Euro techno traxs.The Sean Connery sampling, aquatic infuenced 'Contact Mix' sounds like it was made to played in a dark wharehouse or club. It's got a very hard/heavy, deep kick drum over that repetative meng syndicate riff!
