Damn that mix! Absolutely a classic! Will mix this soon enough with persistence of vision!

Classic if you like old skool acid house :)You can't deny the wave of 303 and lush techno

Masterpiece... Would you play the full 20 min track in a deejay set?

I had the fortune to see Hawtin join System 7 live for this number, on a magical Sunday afternoon at Glastonbury '95. He'd just played a Plastikman set, messing everyone up with his teasing cuts and dropped beats. This wiped out any survivors. Hilliage and Girauldy were jamming over the top. Monstrous. [sigh].

One thing i don't understand is that this is not a remix of the original System 7 track at all, instead it's almost exactly the same as 'Robotman - Do Da Doo (Plastikman's Acid House Remix)' but only twice as long. The main bassline consists of a morphed voice sample taken from 'Dancing Flutes - Do The Do' from 1988. It's probably all done because of promoting/money issues, System 7 was quite a big act.

That seems wrong to me. I've only heard bits of the original but it sounds like the one big acid note that defines the track is a sample from the original.Anyway, obviously the track is a huge statement - 15 minutes of just a tiny number of elements. I didn't really get it until I heard it in a warehouse environment much later and then I never wanted it to stop. Standard story. I didn't even notice how hype the drums on this were until I played the record at my friend's house a few years after THAT. Kind of the pinnacle of less is more and what every Rrose track seems to be going for, bless his/her heart.

This is it. The absolute 'IT' - the best bit of electronic music in the universe. Plastikman's mix is pure acidy techno mania the whole way through, with a relentlessly pumping beat, hi-hats to make your ears catch fire and fall off and screaming liquid acid lines that are inhumanly awesome. Plus it run for 19 blissful minutes, with an epic breakdown after 10 that practically stops the tune, spends ages teasing that it's going to come back, and eventually kicks off again for a final spurt of acidic spunk all over your face. I let this tune defile me regularly, and I love it like a dirty slut every time. I give it 16 out of 10.

This is the best review I've ever read!

Richie Hawtin adds his acid madness into this track. It's relentless and those that love dark sweaty clubs, with a strobe for added mayhem will love dancing to this groove. Adid like only Hawtin can do !
