Thursday Throwback - Dec 30, 2010

Last one of 2010! Going to take a (brief) break from the techy stuff this week and end the year off with something a little more organic, circa 1997. I would credit this as one of the tunes that got me into drum & bass and I'm sure I'm not the only one. The fact that it had a music video made it that much more accessible - I actually remember seeing it on Much Music. Despite being accessible, this is by no means a cliché track and it definitely broke new ground at the time. Check it:

The YouTube video doesn't include the label info - this was released on Biotic (BIO 002)

Thursday Throwback #1 - Dec 9, 2010

I'm starting a new series here on the blog called Thursday Throwback: every Thursday I'll post up a tune from the past - likely drum & bass, likely from my vinyl collection - and provide a little commentary where applicable

So without further ado here's the selection for this week:

Consequently this was one of my first vinyls, if not the first. Also, I heard it at one of the first raves I attended, if not the first! So, a definite classic and a big throwback for me in all regards.
