Yeah, I reckon it's Amethyst's best production. I personally favour the Sunrise Mix, such an epic tune.

I curently own these on Jackpot:
Amethyst - The Tempest/Babul
Shango - Bodyrock (Native Mix/The Stalker Mix/Flying V Dub)
Shango - Tunnelvision (Do The Shango Mix/Galloping Mix)

All are excellent, particularly the Do The Shango Mix of "Tunnelvision" and the Native Mix of "Bodyrock". Both Amethyst tracks are superb too.

Here's an interesting leaflet that came with "Tunnelvision":

Tenth Chapter - Wired is a track I just recently got. Absolute beauty, such a "sad" tune. In the original mix the dark and haunting strings coupled with the sweeping piano really take me away. The Stonk Remix by Simon Noble has a much faster and boucier approach with an overall more happy vibe, an excellent twist on the track which uses the vocals of Claire Pearce to great effect.

Has anyone heard/remember Squelch - Crash? A great 97 style trancer produced by Danny Howells in his "trance" years.
