Play the b-side at 33 1/3. It is better that way.
That is all.

Great track, especially the dub mix on the B side. The vocals/sonics are not great however.

The sleeve on this first ICE version is much nicer than the repress.

A-side is good, but B-side is excellent. I wish they pressed a compilation with all Encinas's tracks altogether.

Got all the elements of classic 70s disco (great jazz style bass, funky guitar, sensual female voals) but with that spaced out feel that pioneers like Dexter Wansel, Patrick Cowley, Gino Soccio and Giorgio Moroder fused into this genre.

Wicked tracks you can play time and time again 'cause each time you notice something new within the production - I can see why prices stay high.

Oh, and if you dig the tracks above then check Methusalem's 'Robotism'

Babatron : because the price is 17 euros if you buy it new.

What bpm do the tracks run at? I seem incapable of counting correctly
