Origin Unknown - Eastern Promise EP

rage, Apr 09, 2007

By far the hardest to find 12 in the RAM catalogue, this unreleased EP has gone down as one of the rarest and most sought after records in Hardcore / Drum n Bass history. The reason for it not getting past the promo stage is unknown, but the most likely reason is probably a sample clearance issue. It is thought that no more than 250 copies were pressed, so when a copy comes up for sale now it commands vast sums of money with RAM collectors across the globe fighting to get their hands on a copy to complete their collections!

Well worth tracking down, my personal favourite being the second track on the A side, but all four tracks are solid. This was the first and last truly Hardcore sounding release by Origin Unknown before they followed it up with the darkside masterpiece that made them a household name in dnb circles, The Touch / Valley of the Shadows.
