This must have been written in mid summer '91 (October issue means comes out in September, monthly mag means a couple of months lead time). Teetering, teetering on the brink - all it would take is one strong pill to push me into the rave maelstrom.
I'm glad the most highly charged bit is on LFO's Frequencies.
the latter uses the same female vocal sample as this jungle tune
whose source is this
or - possibly - mediated by this sampling of same
it also got used by the Orb of course
and by this lot - who I liked for a moment there, until they went all progressive housey
and also this one too - by the for-a-while promising, but ultimately petering out and being a bit boring (as on this tune) Depth Charge
and the Sister Aisha lick appeared in various other tunes (there's a hard trance example out of Germany for instance)
think that this is actually my favorite use of it, although at the time i confess I didn't care much for the tune when it dropped into the pirate mix - perhaps because it did have a little bit of sedated "ambient dub" meets Leftfield / Guerrilla Records vibe about it which I was getting frustrated with and not wanting to intrude itself upon the frenzy of the ardkore
another tune in the, ah, lineage, that does the mystic yearning woman rippling in the echo chamber thing is this dubsteppa
back in a loop to the start with another Carns Hill production with a wavery female vocal, but more ghostly-eerie than mystic St Theresa-y
and ooer missus - that title, it is well nuum-y innit
