Actually, that was Coldcut. :) Bomb The Bass exploded during the acieed
house movement in England with a track called "Beat dis", which topped
the UK charts for several weeks. After that, BTB released "Megablast"
and the excellent remake of Aretha's "I say a little prayer". The LP was
called "Into The Dragon". The next LP was Tim Simenon venturing into
more soulful territory I guess, the name of that one escapes me. His latest
is "Clear", somewhat of a let down for me.
Aaah, the good ole days,
Alexees. :)
