    Does anyone know where the "who goes there?" vocal sample was taken from? I have a feeling it might be part of the same toast that was used for the "original ragamuffin sound" sample that features in Rebel MC Featuring Tenor Fly & Barrington Levy - Tribal Base, but I might be wrong about that. Thanks for any suggestions!

      Such a massive track. This used to get smashed every week for months when I first started raving and boy I just loved it from start to finish. Such simple production, but made with massive Bass, great Hip Hop breaks and fantastic vocals. Legendary and essential for any old skool collection

        For Me This Is One Of The Most Important Records In The History Jungle/dnb. A True Dance Floor Smasher That Merged The Speeded Up Hip Hop Breaks With Raggamuffin Bass lines And Sporadic Reggae And Hip hop Samples.All Topped Off With A Vocal Track From The Rebel Himself , The Mighty Tenor Fly and Frighty.A True Killer That Does Not Fail To Smash Up The Dance floor Any Time Its Played.The Rebel Used These Succsesful Ingredients To Make Some Other Killer Tracks But For Me This Tops The List As Most Definetley The Wickedest Sound.
