The birth of Ambient House and Techno.
Marvellous record, essential

Too bad this ain't available anymore. I really want to get Vince's remix...

For me "Resonance" is the standout track on the 12" and was big track back in its day. It has that perfect Warehouse feel to it, with the infectious acid riff, haunting vocal chant, sparse percussion, its quite a simple sounding track but that the beauty of it. Fantastic track that still sounds good today.

Aquatic was sampled by LTJ Bukem on Enchanted in 1993

The loopy acid sound present on Resonance gives me an uncanny sense of déjà vu. It reminds me like it's from an early Chicago acid house track. Something on Rockin' House or similar label or roster of artiists.

It was around mid 1993 that I first heard the 'Panic In Detroit' compilation on Buzz, which included a wonderful piece by a duo I had never heard before - John Beltran and Mark Wilson. Some time after, I found out they had released a 12" named Aquatic in 1991, on a obscure label named Retroactive (which later acquired a cult status by the Techno heads). 'Aquatic' brought out underwater deepness and intensity, at the same time dancefloor driven, a sort of a foreshadow of a new era.

Bought the booty to save my Buzz original - can safely say the booty is terrible quality, steer well clear of it. The Ogs seller should have made clear to me that the bootleg was pressed from a really rough original, but simply said 'I told you it was the bootleg'. Great. Thanks.
