Bomb The Bass : 10 Seconds To Terminate (Rhythm King, 1988)
I remember back when Tim Simenon's first album dropped a lot of people here were refering to his music as house music, and he was always contesting that, saying that except for may be two tracks on the album, what he was doing was really not house. And he was right. His first album had more to do with hip-hop, but we all know that when it comes to music, image is everything to most people. So since it had a smiley on the cover, Beat Dis had to be house music... And since Say A Little Prayer used computer generated graphics, it couldn't be a soul record.
Regardless, the b-side is the closest he got to house in the early (and most interesting) part of his career. To this day, Bomb The Bass is still an influence on some musicians, just peep dDamage's new album cover and Enter The Dragon's cover. It's a dope album, Go buy it. Thanks.

Those were the days: All you had to do was to sample kraftwerk and throw in a couple of tweaked percussion loops in the mix! (but rly is that so different from today, though) :)
Seriously though, it's a nice little tune and I enjoyed your posting.
