    This is the most demanding record in my collection - it's brutal. Can you system handle it? Only a few can. Watch yer bass bins I'm tellin' yer

      Though the label states 33rpm, my copy plays properly at 45rpm, is this the same with others?

          Pure bassline. It's like this for a reason. If u've been to a rave and this played ...well you know. It's also different the the klf whom I love too. 1991 Belgium house r&s records,beltram,the Hypnotist . Fresh fm pirate station in leicester. Oohh happy dazed

            For anyone that hates on KLF for being corny TOTP cheese, put this on and they released this right in the middle of that "corny TOTP cheese" period.
            Techno that out-heavied nearly everything else at the time.

                Late 90's: mate of mine was a UK expat and he had us over to his place in Berkeley for Red Dwarf and ale. The hospitality included four minutes upstanding with proper respect as this anthem was played.

                I'm grooving on the synth and could almost dance but it never lets me. Just coolass grim determination until 'Jerusalem.'

                  For me personally it's all about Part 2, an outstanding pumping techno track with weird breaks, way ahead of its time when it came out. It certainly stood the test of time, you can hardly believe it's 15 years old by now. Timeless!

                    One of the best productions from this group including The KLF releases. Just a bliss. When comparing to most of the material that came out in 1991, this has been true pioneer work in this genre and also very different to the ordinary line of their work, The White Room to compare for example. Absolutely fantastic techno track.
