Was pretty chuffed with this find in the treasure trove that is the bargain bin in the Greenwich branch of Music & Video Exchange. Nexus 21 was the first project of the outfit that soon went onto be Altern-8 and take the hardcore scene by storm.

A classic 90s techno record, very reminiscent of Inner City, although probably a bit harder sounding. The Marc Kinchen remix is the choice cut here, stripping away the vocals and including a lovely stripped down string break at 50 secs into the record.
