i hate to dive into the record speed conflict which we seem to usually drop
into with MaS releases, but I have to side with delsin/ forcefield and vote
for 33.
at 45, you miss much of the sonic and harmonic subtlety, and the percussion
degrades from tension-soaked vunderwerks to mediocre drillnbass (IMHO).
one puzzler is that the posted tracktime of 4:45.567 correlates more
closely to a 45rpm speed than a 33rpm.
it's a beautiful track at 33 and i just can't find the magic at 45.
NP: third electric: gentle beat
