Forward The Revolution (reissue) vinyl

It was way back in 1992 that militant free party mavericks Spiral Tribe finally made it into the studio for the first time. The result was the Forward The Revolution EP, which has finally been given a reissue in honour of its 30th birthday, with all sales royalties going to organisations offering free legal support for free party soundsystem operators in Europe. The four-tracker remains a perfect distillation of the crew's no-holds-barred approach to techno, with highlights including the acid-fired, breakbeat-driven, didgeridoo-sporting title track, with its Woodrow Wyatt speech samples and ragga vocals; the ragga-rave weightiness of 'Ragga Boom', and the breathless, sub-heavy techno psychedelia of 'Track 13 (Criminal Drug)'.
