[fsol13]

Gods!

[dunning1977]

Used to love listening to this on tape when travelling on a National Express bus back in the mid90s from Uni at Huddersfield to Leicester, when everybody else at the time was listening to shit like Oasis. This song is phenomenal and brings back so many memories.

[B78PBU]

Genuis.

[dunning1977]

I DJ downtempo stuff, but drop this track half-way through, the room goes beserk - brilliant ! This song goes on my Back To Mine or Late Night Tales CD if they did one of me !!

Much overlooked 808 track, one of the best they ever did, anyone remember them DJing in The Soundgarden in Manchester in the early 90s? Like getting a free gig thrown into a club night....

[TRaddcliff]

saw them in montreal in 1989 [or 90], opening act was meat beat manifesto. amazing show.

[fac5c1981]

Do any you good people know the name of the female vocalist who sang this please?

Great bassline on this track and the arpeggiated melody line too, always was a nice track on headphones

This is excellent. I love the beat. A friend of mine told me about these guys. I liked then=m ever since. Its been 15 years now. Thanx for posting this.

[zoniggboum]

great psychedelic vibe to that tune... is there similiar vocalized stuff out there?

[Wu2k3]

Definitely brought a smile to my face. So many dreams, good times shared with many whom I will never see again, but know that for a moment in time and space we shared something special.

[phillynotts]
