got the original. this blew the roof off of many a Florida clubs back in the day. you want old school breaks with a Detroit/electro vibe. this is about at the top of the list.
-
It was techno, it was electro, it was acid and it was totally epic. A militant sound of, and from, Detroit, that was markedly the next wave of the original. Landmark UR that took the torch from the forefathers and ran even further into the future. Some say, the best track ever. -
Edited 2 years agoBeing a late adopter on this by at least a couple of years; I must add that it's one of my favourites. -
On my Archer pressing with the 70mm ring, the sound drops out a couple of times briefly (less than a second) towards the end of 'Final Frontier'. Is this the same on all copies of this pressing?
My other copy with the 32mm 'muffin type' ring does not do this. -
One of the masterpieces of all dance music, you can't f*ck with this track, will make you cry if you got a soul.

The main reason this has never been repressed is that Mike Banks told a story that he had lost the master plates to this release........ -
I have this release but I really hope it will be repressed shortly because people should not pay this ridiculous prices to own a piece of music history -
So this is actually from 1991 which makes sense as it's 003... Wow, this means that this release is even more of a game-changer! The Final Frontier is obviously the classic here but Base Camp Alpha 808 is a tough as nails immense bass rumbler on the Electro tip...

I was given a cassette with these tracks on it and more by my producer back in 91, his friend had just finished recording them and he wanted to know what I thought of it. I biked around NYC listening to it, and all I thought was "WOW, this is very interesting music!!" No I don't have the cassette anymore, it got lost in the past, but finding this brings back great memories! It made the pop music I was making sound so lame, I am so glad I ditched that.
