    Wicked, weird record, engaging with the most interesting aspects of rave and euphoric club music from a contemporary, quite experimental position within UK dance music.

    The original of the title track is a steppy dancefloor number, the straightest track on the 12", hinting at hands-in-the-air mallet moments. The dub takes it down a notch, keeping the staggering rhythms, but adding lots of wind, a sort-of church bell breakdown, freaky vocals, and a cowbell.

    But it's on the B-Side that this record really stands out. 'Maje' jams hard-trance euphorics deep underground, bringing a malevolent darkness to the rave. Drilling noises, hoovering filter sweeps, pitched-up strings, marching-band snare patterns and maimed crowd samples build and hold a ridiculous level of tension out over the course of the track. Insane and quite amazing - has to be heard!
