Get the white vinyl release from Kniteforce now. It sounds great! Needs to be added here.
It’s almost like they borrowed Doc’s NHS Disco Remix’s bass for The Journey. #subbass
Edited 2 years agoAccording to an interview with Ramos in the May 1995 issue of Atmosphere magazine, this sold 8,000 copies upon release. Although, in an April 1995 interview with JRA magazine (an Australian ravezine) this figure is given as "almost up to 5,000 copies". Perhaps the larger figure included both the original and remixes, or perhaps it's just a misprint. Who knows, but either way it was called out as the label's best selling release!
The Slammin Vinyl record shop still stocked new copies in 96/97, so it's possible it sold more in total.- The Sample on Crowd Control is "Sweetheart" by Lee Prentiss,
Edited 3 years agoTune indeedy. Takes one on a journey definate. What a kick at 1.22! Bangin tune!,Inspirational beat. B side great also. Must have EP in ones Breakbeat collection. Awesome 3 sampling thrown on for good measure. BAD TUNE INDEED!
I dare to say it : The Journey is probably the best emotional tune ever made in electronic music history.- What we have here is two of the baddest tunes from the 93/94 era
The journey a great dark but happy roller
and crowd control a 94 hardcore tune without the cheese , that canbe considered happy
Granted the piano is stolen from the awesome three but is delivered with much more of a rush 
I just can second what my pre-reviewer already wrote. A classic of Ramos + Supreme that were on the turning point of breakbeat/jungle with a darker edge to the ever happy happy hardcore that came around 94.
The Journey with its on point clanging beats is really the party breaker on this though the synth sounds of Crowd Control made it my favorite on this EP.
For me, as mentioned quite at the edge, abit more of cheesiness and piano would have tipped the scale for me not to buy this vinyl at that time. Still a great listen after all these years.- Yep Hutcho sums it up perfectly. Both fucking rinsing tunes.
- Sold around 4,000 copies on initial release.
