[@judsonsnell]

LOL that's Trace, man. He just let shit ROOOOLLLL. Maybe like the same break and bass for 64 bars straight while he works like ONE filter. Either the drugs used to be better, or maybe it's good to let a tune breath. I played the fahk out of this.

You lucky

[@koncreteto2758]

most of them are dirt cheap now , its only the well known ones from this era that end up worth alot , there all worth nothing in reality its just the collectors thinking its uber rare stuff , when the entire catalogue is available digitally it makes them worth like what you payed (:

[@executivesteve]

@@koncreteto2758 A copy of this one in decent condition will still net you the guts of 10 euro, which for DnB from 1999 is nothing to be sniffed at really. This era hasn't really had the speculative discogs mania that sent all the 94-96 stuff soaring price-wise yet, but it won't be long now imo. Can already hear hints of this sound creeping back in some of the new releases, including the new Kid Drama and Trace stuff.

[@Decoy303]

@@toxicrhythmz3718 you don't have to understand. You're not me. I've owned this tune since it's release. Used it in my second mixtape. That mix wouldn't have been the same without this track however it hasn't aged well in some ways and for me it's because that ride just never lets up. It needed variation. But it's still a Moody asf tune and to be respected. I'm not at all shitting on this tune. Just sharing my opinion in the comments.

[@toxicrhythmz3718]

@@Decoy303 The lack of variation is actually intentional bc it's what creates and maintains the atmosphere of this tune. Less is more sometimes
