Didn't catch amp, but the propellerheads tune is a goodie :) history
repeating is the name. it is shirley bassey definitely worth getting hold
of, there are essentially two mixes of it on the 12" ... knee length,
ankle length and hip length are the names. the knee and hip length are
basically the same with this phat lilting rhythm [a bass and some maraca's
maybe - something deep and something high!], and shirley bassey's voice
complementing it perfectly. the ankle length song is much ruffer with
grinding guitars. still not bad, but the other mixes are a joy to hear.
reminds me of the way martine girault sings - very immediate so that
you can almost feel her breath on your neck. *ooooh* ;)
