I'll have to have a listen. One of my old colleagues a decent one was on about this. Never heard of him, but I'll have a listen. I've done nothing but listen to the cranberries and the fall the last couple of weeks. Great to be able to. Small blessings. Esa a disgrace.

Flashback has the best memories of that guy for me, I love my old Jungle but that "breakbeat hardcore / Jungle Techno" stuff will always have a huge place in my heart. Like I said the other day for me Tango & Ratty - Tales From The Darkside was one of those tunes that twisted my head on first hearing it.

Everyone has a few special tunes when this style of music first came out & for me that was one with those metal drum breaks & hardcore sound that flipped my world, it made such an impact upon my ears & I still get the same kinda chills on hearing it today as I did back then.
