Also a more "hardcore" era tune ie approx 1991/2 "Blackout" - and
Lolita/Destiny from 1992. Their more recent stuff sounds kinda weak
to me - they definitely have their own ideas about how to do things,
different from the mainstream. Early singles magnificent, at the time
- Liquid Cool really is excellent, as is Krupa and the aforementioned
Ain't Talkin' About Dub - Rumble is OK, but the albums are like one
of a kind i dunno naff biker techno or something.
