First time I heard this tune was during Ray Keith's set at our WEMF 3 day festival in 1999. Literally bought the mixtape for this tune. Never forgot it then 12 years ago and still need to hear it today in 2012.
i remember hearing this tune at a friends house way back in 2001. i had never heard such a dark and grimey tune in my life and was the 1st tune that got me hooked onto DNB and i havent stopped listening to DNB/dubstep since
This is a great tune- a total classic, but i would love to know what the fuck you guys listen too, coz this ain't a dark tune at all, in fact is more funky than anything.
I loved how for years (maybe they still do??) DJ's would drop this into sets when you least expected it. That bassline is iconic. I had a copy that got a scratch on the opening lead in, right where you would cue it. A tragedy :(
You don't listen to what is the most direct sound, which immediately hits your ear. It's the inconsistencies in basslines, the reverb from acoustic samples. There is plenty genius hidden in the production of this music!
Benchmark dark tune, absolutely perfect.

This is a track only a true drum & bass fan could understand.
One of the best ever made.

Hardly! you must listen to light drum and bass and have obviously missed most of the harder stuff along the way somehow?

impressive production values! about as high as they got. Very tough indeed. Also check their remix of G.O.T.A on moving shadow.
