Reviews & Discussion:

Written by half of Darshan, half of Pop Out and Play, Dj Bong and Mel. This record uses a phattened up gritty distorted acid line and keeps 2 Bad Mices breakbeat and Leftfields Phat Planet main hook together combining to make a peak time monster. Leftfield played this on their Breeze block appearance on Radio 1 just before it was due to be released. Judge Julez also put it in a set on Radio one as a bit of a surprise.
The original is the kind of chunky techy prog fodder that slips nicely into a deep dark druggy night out with its thunderous bass line which builds atmosphere and drops in to create a solid dancefloor monster. Drakey's mix rolls along a more tribal and percussive route a la Peace Division and picked up plays from Digweed on his Kiss 100 radio show. This record found favour with DJ's looking to build up from warm up to the main set.
Many who like their music a little more proggier and the chunkier end of the scale aimed for the Rozzo mix, which is deep and atmospheric picking up support and radio play from Digweed. The original sounds more along the lines of a tech house production Tom Middleton would have made. This is a more dance floor aimed track with a bouncey groove and big bassline, layered with a subtle looped melody and effects which builds and drops.
A darker release for Omid 16b's Alola label. The two West London tech housers debuted with this double A sider. One side picks up all the deep techno influences of labels like Transmat and is laden with stabs and influence from Detroit. The flip side offers a more house based beast which throbs along nicely and drops a huge sub bass riff that found favour with Mr C in his Ibiza Kiss 100 radio show.
Nice thing to own on sick green vinyl, however the Stone Roses seem a little unimpressed with the interviewer and give answers almost mocking him. The interviewer asks stupid questions which are unfortunately met with dull answers. I wish I could speak more favourabley about this purchase, but twenty mins of naive, pointless and immature journalism makes this an interview you only want to hear once, stricktly for the die hard fan and not worth spending a long time searching for I think.
The partnership of the two FSOL'ers has been nothing short of the meeting of two futuristic sound geniuses. Papua New Guinea, despite having found influences from Meatbeat Manifesto's - Radio Babylon, is without any shadow of a doubt the best dance record ever. The drug extacy was invented for this record and everyone should own a copy. Nowadays they are releasing from the back catalogue the kind of records which defined ambient and took many of todays electronic artists into a new era of melodies and atmospheric soundscapes. You will find their other incantaton of Amorphous Androginous more on the psychodelic rock vibe these days as one half got mercury poisoning from his fillings and almost died, following this event he relaunched his contribution to the pairs sound being more influenced by the sound of live instruments you would expect an lsd user from the 70's to be playing and the other half stayed with the electronic sound of previous releases, an interesting combination. Stick with their 90's sound and you won't go wrong.
