    Also to add, on Paradox (track A1) there's a blatant sample rip at the 2:00 mark it uses 'New Worlds' from 2010 by composer David Shire.

          Remember when my friend returned from blackmarket with this ep, paradox and the quickening were the tunes for me,
          they worked so well in the mix and allowed you to build up and move on with its great breakdowns and overall production,
          the keys in the quickening could overlap and build like magic , these tunes are all about the mix and thats why i still rate this ep today > intense did alot of great tunes and this ep deserves the praise it gets.

            For me paradox is the tune... It's fast, frenetic and paranoid, the bass is bad and constant subtle changes in the drum patterns build to the most beautiful, unexpected break with the orchestral sound and choir singing. Add to that the twisted "they're watching me" sample and it all comes together for a brilliant tune appreciated most when played loud... Beautifully paranoid.

              Can't see what all the fuss is about... I find this record really bland and have no idea why people are paying serious money for it ? Along with a lot of the other rugged records, there is nothing ground breaking about the production and it hasn't stood the test of time.. Unlike a lot of the other big D&B records from 93, this one sounds dated !

                    To answer the question posted. The breakdown sample is from this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mzx08e1mIGs&feature=player_embedded

                    A film called Millenium. Cheers to SmartE from b2vos for the heads up on that.
