"Track With No Name" - is the standout track for me on this 12" and what a track it is, & probably the better known, I just loved the Bleep sound and this E.P. doesn't disappoint. "Stress" is also worth a listen, with the bassline going even deeper.

Edited 5 years agoThis came out at the end of the Bass & Bleep era in the UK, loved it. Music at the time started to go Jungle Techno, it went under the radar a bit.. A great one to discover it has not aged for me - Stress is my favourit, bass heavy ! at the time of the bleeps everyone tried to cut the loudest bass record to play on these Turbo sound systems. The trade off is cutting this in a 33rpm means low volume. But that bass to this day shakes the room ! -
Is that a melodica in the mix on Pump Me? Amazing. This tune sounds like it came out yesterday. -

It's all about 'Stress' and 'Track With No Name (Communique Mix)'. Serious bleeps and bass heat! -
Am I seriously the first person to comment on this? I won't waste my time typing. Just listen to the tracks on YT. Seminal UK techno. Nuff said.
