Sasha's version of "Talk To Me" has a repeating sample that always eluded me in the past when I first heard this track. The sample I am referring to comes from Big Audio Dynamite II's classic 1991 track "The Globe". Its a wonderful sample used in combination with the overlaying breakbeat. The female vocals have been vocaded with the right amount and slowly begins to filter back to the original. A wonderful masterpiece! You can also find this track mixed on Sasha & Digweeds Renaissance Mix.

I disagree that the album fails. Tracks A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C2, D2, & D3 are all great tracks. Only 30% (4 tracks) of this release IMO doesn't stand up to the other 70% (8 tracks).

A2 - The beginning of Sasha's String Mix is reminiscent of "The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby" but much slower and only slightly different. I'm quite surprised that no one has picked up on this. Sasha must have been inspired by The Beatles track when he remixed Urban Soul's "Alright". The strings come in lifting you up and then just as you are beginning to feel spiritual a deep bass line drops you back to earth to hear the wonderful female vocal of "Everything is gonna be alright" and you begin to groove. One of the best earlier mixes of Sasha.

Granted 'To A Nation Rockin' is the core at what makes this a great release but 'Stone Skippin' was something totally different at what was being released during this time period. Gavin Hardkiss made good use of this track on his Mix CD "Weekend" Catalog#: HKS 19003-2. He uses the best part of the track (Beginning and middle) and avoids the end by bringing in another wonderful track TC 1995 - Just Get Up And Dance (Sure Is Pure Remix). If you don't have this vinyl, you should get it. Pure Gold!
