i heard this first on mo'wax compilation headz 2a like most but i heard it maybe 10years after that was released and it coincided with me getting into all sorts of bass music. it really resonated into the mixture of sound i was liking and it felt really ahead of it's time even though it really isn't.
sherard ingram original however is a case of that with it's shuffled hiphop sound that sound like what going in modern times with the usual names but it was packing a massive bass. it's a sort of subby bass that you hear in a loefah track and it's really awesome. i don't know how much carl craig helped with mixing but he and sherard did great job at it.
forme aka unkle's richard file took the track to do the 132bpm breaks rerub and did a bangupjob with it. on this one he had the help of will bankhead and illian walker aka ils and he used most of the parts from the original but added some clean drumbreaks to for dj's and did a small build to make a vicious drop. the build is so effective when it brings out that massive bass in and then it drops to the guitar stab that start of the original.
it really does make an impact and but it's underpinned by the bass that is very subby but every two bars shoot off a midrange stab that really hits you. the way the drums are chopped and the sounds are worked all under this rumble makes this track quite versatile. i tend to play it in the 125-140bpm regions but i've also played it at jungle speeds as it makes sense as well.
