ORIGINALLY RELEASED TEN YEARS AGO AS PART OF A DOUBLE-PACK ON ROUTEMASTER RECORDS (ROUTE01) BY UNDERGROUND ACID TECHNO PIONEERS LAWRIE IMMERSION AND CHRIS LIBERATOR (WORKING UNDER THE NAME LOCHI), THE TRACK QUICKLY GAINED RECOGNITION, SELLING OUT ITS INITIAL PRESSING WITHIN A FEW DAYS, THE DOUBLE-PACK BECOMING A COLLECTOR'S ITEM IMMEDIATELY AFTER. DURING THE FOLLOWING MONTHS THE TRACK NOT ONLY BECAME AN ANTHEM ON LONDON'S BURGEONING SQUAT PARTY TECHNO SCENE, IT BECAME THE RECORD ASSOCIATED WITH THE 'RECLAIM THE STREETS' PROTESTS OF THE TIME, NOTABLY BEING THE FIRST TUNE PLAYED AT THE NOW LEGENDARY STREET PARADE IN TRAFALGAR SQUARE WHERE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ASSOCIATE IT WITH THE EMOTIONAL AND POLITICAL ACHIEVEMENTS OF THAT DAY.
