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.
