"RS 364C" I think samples the bassline from Barbara Mason "Another Man".

There are hints of Model 500's "The Chase". I wonder if it's coincidence or by design?

A lot of reviews for the repress or reissue comment on how the pressing is quiet. I just picked up an original 1988 US copy. It's also very quiet. So I think the low volume complaints apply to all LP copies of this album. That said, it's still a great album. See full review

May or may not be a sample. "Midnight Groove" has a similar synth melody as Nami Shimada's "Sun Shower".

I'm shocked this single doesn't have a single review. "This Old Heart Of Mine (Is Weak For You)" is maybe the perfect pop single; listen to that bass, Motown beats, vocals, and of course those strings! Does it really get any better than this?

I don't have this exact copy, but I think it's actually Walter's Disco Madness mix which wasn't on the original Ten Per Cent 12" but on a separate Salsoul LP called "Disco Madness".

The keyboard melody and sound on "Celestial Symphony" is similar to that from Caustic Window (a.k.a. Aphex Twin) "Cordialatron" released one year earlier.

ED209 "Acid To Ecstasy" seems to take snippets (or is heavily influenced by) Ministry "Everyday (Is Halloween)" and Electribe 101 "Talking With Myself".

He was the owner of Minimal Records. Maybe the folks at Stealth Records thought that would be a good a selling point for a record.

The break on the Underworld mix epitomizes 90s electronic music: 909 kicking, synths stuttering, keys arpeggiating, guitars playing, and vocals blending seamlessly into the sound. Sure it's only a few seconds, but that sort of summarizes that short... See full review

Even though John Robie is credited with the remix on the B side. I believe the B side track is the same as the original from the 2x45 album.

The longer version has a very gradual fade at the end where the music plays but at a low volume. The shorter version cuts off those last few seconds.

Yes exactly. Both sides have the instrumental (B Side) runout etching. Very easy to know which version you have if you check the runout groove.
Faze Action - In The Trees
posted a comment on Faze Action - In The Trees. over 3 years ago
No idea if it was intentional or not (as I don't think they've ever mentioned it): the bassline is nearly identical to the bassline from "There's Fire Down Below" by Fantastic Four which comes in about halfway into the song.

The bassline is Cheryl Lynn though the guitar seems to be original (too bad there was no instrumental as that's the best part!).
