Review by TEKNONUTTER Jan 18, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
Although Side-One is an anthem of anthems, and was dropped pretty much everywhere in any set, from it's original "STORM 25" release, I got sick of it after a couple of months. Although quite commercial, it definitely was a ground breaking tune and definitely has its place in rave history. However, the track for me resides on Side-B, which is angrier, grittier, darker, and uses the JUNO 106 'mentasm' sounds explosively, together with trippy, tubular type of bells in-between, deep synths, complex 909 patterns mashed-up, and the famous 'Helter Skelter/Radio Babylon' breakbeat throughout, best played in a hardcore techno set. Saying that, don't know what came over the producers...maybe they had enough of the hard, ear bashing they were induced to? Only near the end the track, it flips into an extremely melodic, mellow, ambient string, epic flutey bit, which fades out. This was sampled by the likes of Mike Slammer & DJ Red Alert on their Slammin' Vinyl release, Hardcore Jungle rinser, IN EFFECT, pitched up to the max!
