Funky and fast. It’s classic, unstoppable Jeff Mills. Can mix it into all kinds of other records.

first techno record i bought. Genuinely couldn't get my head around it - but in a good way. Got #12 Humana at the same time and still love that as much as this record / maybe even more

Absolutely seminal record. ˋblack is the number´ is based on a sample of ˋremember´ by Gino Soccio.

In the Bush is the definitive techno tune - classy, driving machine funk. You can mix this with just about anything and it will sound perfect

I remember this really clearly.

ax-11, ax-12 and ax-13 all came in to my local record shop on the same day. I bought Humana and was pissed off that I couldn't get this. Bought it in the end. Everyone had a copy. Every track got thrashed!~
