    At least as good as the LP and arguably even better. I feel this release (specifically the 7 track CD version) is much overlooked. I guess people just think it is a standard single release of the 5 minute track from the LP, but it is a true "extended play" 40 minute work in its own right. Essential. Best thing they did!

      i may be wrong, but i'm pretty sure i have a tape somewhere from 92 that has colin dale play path 3 on his outer limits kiss show....shares a fair amount of dna with papua new guinea, what with its rolling breakbeats n'all, but this time there is a lot more detroit in it, from the hi hats to the bass and its one of my favourite tracks by them. this and 'theme from hot burst' work pretty well together (if you also have a copy of earthbeat) and starts mapping out part of the blueprint for intelligent jungle which soon followed........as far as the other tracks go, i think its been said pretty well by others on here already and for £1.29 you cant really go wrong....
