Jun 21, 2008 - I agree. I have a similar version on the "Hard Fax" album (compilation, Columbia/Sony) from 92. Just wish I'd been old enough to be a part of the scene.

Jun 11, 2008 - Another class tune from Altern 8. Not far off being twenty years old and yet still sounding totally wicked to this day.
