Renegade, The* Featuring Ray Keith ‎– Terrorist / Something I Feel

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fzsu3_RSgjM - here's the tune that it sampled from (well, the video a remix of Nightporter, I couldn't find the original).
I's a decent tune, the Amen is good, but it is so fucking repetitive; a 2-bar drum loop??!! You could've tried harder than that, Keith!

Whoever listens this timeless Breakbeat classic "Terrorist" by Ray Keith & Gavin Cheung (A.K.A. Nookie) for the first time will never imagine what comes right after the opening dramatic pianos taken from Japan's "The Nightporter": an oscillating bassline from Kevin Sauderson's classic "Just Want Another Chance" (1988) as Reese and the Amen Break based Breakbeat storm (sampled from the complete drum solo drop out of "Amen, Brother" by The Winstons, 1969) that would cause a very singular impact on the history of Jungle & Drum n' Bass. As a natural consequence, "Terrorist" was included on many important compilations such as 'Drum & Bass Selection 2', 'Jungle Fever Vol. 1 - The Jungalistic Revolution', 'Jungle Mania 2', 'The Ultimate Jungle Collection', 'Radio Dreamscape Volume One', 'World Dance - The Drum + Bass Experience', among others.
Although there is no credits on the sleeve or label for Nookie, he was with Ray Keith the composer and producer of this single.
The B side of this single reveals a homage to Cuba Gooding (singer of The Main Ingredient seventies Soul band): the title "Something I Feel" comes from the quote of Cuba Gooding's acappella "I think it's something I feel (...)" took from the original Main Ingredient tune "Happiness Is Just Around The Bend" (1974); there is also another sample of flutes and strings from the introduction of "Breezin'" (1976) by George Benson.

Now that is an oldskool Jungle piano riff! This is truly a child of the heyday of Jungle, back when Reeces and Amens were considered top of the line. About half way through the track there is a nice vocal sample that *almost* changes the overall mood of the tune. Definitely a classic!

Big Big tune across London in particular during 1994. Still drops even now. Bassline subsequently sampled by hundreds of others looking to cash in behind it. Anyone whose anybody on the scene would recognise that piano riff intro almost immediately.
