Reviews
Both the vocal and dub mixes are great, Great writing and production from Scher/Golden, and Jellybean's sparkling mixing work was never bettered.
All about the Dub Version for me. Raw, tough. sparse and very versatile. My favourite version is the edit/remixed cut with Nunk. Exclusive and only available as part of a mastermix on Street Sounds - Crucial Electro. Rearranged both tracks' best bits in my opinion.- Freddyfreshsales seconds my emotion: that the Warp 9 classics sound like they were made 100 years in the future! It's amazing how ahead of their time the producer/writers (Lotti Golden & Richard Scher) were. The records are so well produced and sound totally fresh and rockin'.
- The dub mix of this is an excellent space age party-starter.
This is another fanastic electro classic with the famous memory moog intro of the space like sound effect dropping sound. These records by Warp 9 sound like they were made one hundred years into the future. Such classics!
