This amazing album was truly the kick start for me and many others i"m sure,although i first heard it in the summer of 1995.
The remarkable thing about the whole album in general,is that,with all its sampels of breaks,piano breakdowns,pitched up girl voices and of course the ragga vocals,there is not an "Amen" break sample to be heard in any track.
Which suprises me a bit as im a true "Amen" addict.

All in all this album is the best CD , ever cross this earth it is the root off all styles,concerning the oldskool/jungle rave era,and even at that time,(1992) the trem "jungle" music was not known yet.
Today after 12 years of listening to this album,it still gives me goosbumps...each and every time i play it!
Actually i played it, just an hour ago, and as it is titled "The Experience",it truly is an experience even if one would play it 50 years later!
