Reviews
Edited 5 months agoBeing a late adopter on this by at least a couple of years; I must add that it's one of my favourites.- On my Archer pressing with the 70mm ring, the sound drops out a couple of times briefly (less than a second) towards the end of 'Final Frontier'. Is this the same on all copies of this pressing?
My other copy with the 32mm 'muffin type' ring does not do this. - One of the masterpieces of all dance music, you can't f*ck with this track, will make you cry if you got a soul.
Watch the aliens floating about................ They know no no thing! vPeace
The main reason this has never been repressed is that Mike Banks told a story that he had lost the master plates to this release........
I completely understand this release is more than just the iconic 'The Final Frontier' A side however if it's that track you're after it can be found on vinyl on the compilation (link below) on Disc 1 (side B) for significantly less that the current market rates for UR003

....and yes, it's a nice loud pressing....- Edited 2 years agoVinyl traders & pretentious assholes record collectors hate repress . People like it . Please Mike Banks, repress this major record in the Techno history . We need it . Full support to UR !
I have this release but I really hope it will be repressed shortly because people should not pay this ridiculous prices to own a piece of music history- So this is actually from 1991 which makes sense as it's 003... Wow, this means that this release is even more of a game-changer! The Final Frontier is obviously the classic here but Base Camp Alpha 808 is a tough as nails immense bass rumbler on the Electro tip...
- I was given a cassette with these tracks on it and more by my producer back in 91, his friend had just finished recording them and he wanted to know what I thought of it. I biked around NYC listening to it, and all I thought was "WOW, this is very interesting music!!" No I don't have the cassette anymore, it got lost in the past, but finding this brings back great memories! It made the pop music I was making sound so lame, I am so glad I ditched that.
